Remember the other day when I said:
Actually, as I understand it, it was NOT his “right” to “retire early.” His contractual service commitment was not due to expire until 2007, but when word came down in late 2005 that his cannon-cocker unit would soon be deploying to Iraq, he summarily dropped out—after shitting himself in sheer terror, of course.
Yeah, well. About that.
According to Walz’s Command Sergeant Major, Walz had signed a six year contract when he re-upped in the National Guard in 2000. When he was notified that his unit would be mobilized for Iraq, he put in for retirement, despite having two years left to serve on his contract.
His superior denied his request — so Walz went up to two levels of command above to get someone to grant his quickie retirement (and breaking of his contract).
Why would someone let him out of the contract?
I don’t know, but remember, in 2004-2006, the Democrats’ big plan for defeating Bush and the Republicans was to recruit lots of people who could claim a military background, so they could challenge the Republicans’ notions of patriotism.
And it just so happened that as soon as this coward was let out, he declared he was running for Congress.
Did that motivate a politically-minded superior to give him a Get Out of War Free pass?
Of course it did. Next up: ask a silly question.
“It’s not a hypothetical for me. I’ve done that.”
Tim Walz clearly states he went to Afghanistan during a debate.

A: He’s a fucking lying-ass D卐M☭CRAT, that’s how. Lying is not just SOP for such slimeballs as they, it’s mandatory.
Francis unearths some unsettling facts which are bound to throw any lover of boxed mac & “cheese” right off his feed.
An uncle to the clan cleared his throat. “Kevin,” he intoned, “you know I sell cheese, don’t you?” The youngster nodded. “Well, it’s about time you learned about the Great Pyramid of Cheese.” And he told them all about it.
It seems that there are places where they make Cheese. The real stuff, straight from the milk, brimming with the odorific and oleaginous virtues that your narrator has found he cannot renounce. And it is good.
Most of it, anyway. Some wheels of cheese just don’t turn out right. But they’re not thrown away, oh, no. That would be wasteful. They’re sold to factors from other shops, which take them in, and melt them down, and add oil, and chemicals, and further processing, and thereby produce… Cheese Food. Cheese Food is regulated by law to contain no more than 49% non-milk additives, and must not contain any but a specified list of preservatives and artificial flavor enhancers. There are people who eat Cheese Food by choice. There are others who are trying to help them.
But some batches of Cheese Food don’t come out right either, and they’re not thrown away, either. They’re sold to factors from other shops, which take them in, and melt them down, and add oil, and chemicals, and further processing, and thereby produce… Process Pasteurized Cheese Food. PPCF is the step down from Cheese Food, and may contain up to 70% non-milk additives, plus a much wider range of flavor and color enhancers, and preservatives that guarantee that it will not spoil over the three months between your toddler’s two demands for a grilled cheese sandwich right now, mom!
And not all of this is saleable, either, but (you guessed it) it’s not thrown away just for that. The rejected barrels are sold to factors from other shops, which take them in, and melt them down, and add oil, and chemicals, and further processing, and thereby produce… Process Pasteurized Cheese Food Substance. PPCFS may contain up to 82% non-milk additives. The flavor and color are almost entirely chemically produced, and the preservatives in it are reputed to be stronger than formaldehyde. Velveeta was once PPCFS, but has moved up the pyramid to Level 3 (PPCF). Cheez Whiz is PPCFS. A number of people have drawn images of the Blessed Virgin on their basement walls with PPCFS from spray cans, and have made quite a lot of money.
But…that’s right. Some of it doesn’t meet the standards for retail-saleable PPCFS. The rejected barrels are sold to factors from other shops, which take them in, and melt them down, and add oil, and chemicals, and further processing, and thereby produce…
Well, it doesn’t really have a name, and it doesn’t need one, either, because all of it is consumed by a single company.
“And Kevin,” the uncle rumbled, “would you like to guess what that company is?”
Little Kevin swallowed and shook his head.
“It’s the Kraft Company, Kevin.”
OOF. Please, I beg of you, don’t anybody tell my kid about this, ‘kay? A diehard devotee of boxed mac ’n’ (kinda-sorta-somewhat, more or less) cheese from an early age, she’s liable to resort to drastic measures if she ever gets wind of it, up to and including mass murder.
The above excerpt is from an old 2007 (!) Porretto post that somehow got by me the first time around; happily, though, Bayou Peter caught it. Or, y’know, UNhappily, as the case may be.
PRO TIP: Back when I was still able to bestir myself now and then to whip up some honest to God scratch-made macaroni and cheese, I came up with a concoction I dubbed Tex-Mex Mac & Cheese, made with one (1) can of Original Recipe Ro-tel (my perennial standby; like the iconic Texas Pete hot sauce, it makes ANYTHING better); cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses; pasta shells or ziti (NOT elbow macaroni, unless I had nothing else on hand); and thick-sliced, hefty hunks of Zatarain’s andouille sausage in portions generous enough to draw a sigh of blissed-out contentment from even the most decadent of bipedal root-hogs.
Delicious as it was, and it assuredly was, I never could persuade Madeleine to so much as try the stuff, alas. In those days, she didn’t care much for andouille, whereas tomatoes in any way, shape, or form—canned or fresh off the vine, sliced, diced, chopped, pureed, or etc—were completely out of the question.
Regarding Herr Kommissar Starmer’s latest outrage.
Let me get this straight:
Keir Starmer is releasing violent criminals from prison just to replace them with people who commit thought crimes on @X.
And he is spending police resources investigating and going after people for retweets and Facebook posts when there is a shitload of violent crime all over Britain.

I’m trying a little experiment on an end-run of my own devising around the annoying “Show more…” Twatter links. Let’s see how it goes. Inline update! Nope, didn’t work. Oh well, whatcha gonna do. No biggie, really; if Elon needs the extra clicks, I’m okay with not depriving him of ‘em.
As for Herr Starmer, Divemedic makes a crucial point.
The UK says that they will extradite and prosecute Americans for saying mean things on the Internet, which is a violation of UK law. It’s illegal to say mean things while engaging in political speech online.
You might scoff, but remember that it won’t be UK police coming to arrest you. It will be US cops coming to haul you away to be sent to the UK for doing something that is entirely legal to do here in the US.
Indeed. Thank goodness no US cop would ever arrest and/or extradite an America citizen to Britainistan for exercising his God-given, Constitutionally-protected right to free speech. What a relief!
All you really need to know about VP candidate designate/select Brigadier LT GEN Tim “A-hole” AWOLz.

Eh, natzofast there, John. Actually, as I understand it, it was NOT his “right” to “retire early.” His contractual service commitment was not due to expire until 2007, but when word came down in late 2005 that his cannon-cocker unit would soon be deploying to Iraq, he summarily dropped out—after shitting himself in sheer terror, of course. After cleaning his drawers he decided to become a professional D卐M☭CRAT politician, which requires one to lie continuously, about anything and everything, which Gov AWOLz clearly has no problem with. At the same time he summarily decided, on his own (nonexistent) authority, that his fledgling career as a scum-sucking ProPol would be helped along enormously if he retained his brevet rank as Command Master Chief First Top Bird Colonel DELTA Force Power Ranger Sergeant of the US Army indefinitely, even though he was neither empowered nor entitled to do so.
So he did. And the rest, as they say, is history. Y’know, like America That Was, umm, is.
Tim “A-hole” AWOLz as Vice President? Sure, why the hell not. After all, it’s not as if we haven’t already thoroughly disgraced ourselves before a watching world anyway, now is it? In the famous words of America’s First Female “President,” what difference, at this point, does it make?
So the Limeys think they want ANOTHER damned rematch, do they?
Video: UK Cops Threaten to Extradite and Jail Americans for Online Speech
Elon Musk is among the American citizens who could be targeted for censorship and legal retaliation by open-borders cops in the UK.Chief Mark Rowley of Greater London’s Metropolitan Police Service threatened to charge and jail American citizens who post online from their own country in support of UK demonstrations against mass third-world migration and the years of violent crime that have come along with it.
Police in the UK have arrested and charged hundreds of native-born citizens thus far with a litany of speech-related crimes, with some of them being tried, convicted, and sentenced to years in prison, in just a matter of days. While promising more arrests, Rowley set his sights on American citizens and others who’ve shown support for the protest movement, which comes in direct response to the triple murder of three children by an African living on British soil.
“We will throw the full force of the law at people,” Rowley told reporters at a press conference. “And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets, or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you.”
I’ll just let Bill handle that bit of light work for me.
Dickhead Dictator from Shithole Country Threatens Americans
Listen carefully, you pisspot loudmouth. As an American citizen I voice my full, wholehearted support for the brave British patriotic resisters opposing your communist attempts to destroy them and their nation, and I devoutly hope that you and those like you in your white-hating racist dictatorship are soon dragged off to meet the same end the aristocrats of France suffered during the French Revolution.Our forefathers who created the United States of America showed us how to deal with the likes of you, when you tried to enforce your filthy, tyrannical laws on them in their own land. They killed you and your hired mercenaries where you stood. Our state of Texas alone has more heavily armed men and women than your entire nation. If you wish to meet the same fate, feel free to put your feet on American soil and try to oppress Americans in the same way you do your slaves at home. Do that, and I can promise you that you will never oppress anyone ever again.
Seconded, word for fucking word, one hundred and ten fucking percent, with all my heart and fucking soul, right down the fucking line, with fucking whipped cream on fucking top. Mr Rowley, sir (spelled with a C and a U, please note), you just feel free to come get my insolent Yankee Doodle Dandy ass any time you feel froggy enough, you light-in-the-loafers, Muzzy-scrote-lapping Britweasel poofter. As Dashiell Hammett’s unforgettable Continental Op character once cautioned, with a rueful shake of the head: Better get help.*
Since I brought it up and all, I can’t resist re-running the likewise-brilliant Raymond Chandler’s ebullient praise of his forebear Hammett one mo’ time again, culled from Chandler’s seminal collection of essays analyzing and explicating the detective noir oeuvre, “The Simple Art of Murder.”
Hammett gave murder back to the kind of people that commit it for reasons, not just to provide a corpse; and with the means at hand, not with hand-wrought dueling pistols, curare, and tropical fish…He is said to have lacked heart, yet the story he thought most of himself [The Glass Key] is the record of a man’s devotion to a friend. He was spare, frugal, hard-boiled, but he did over and over again what only the best writers can ever do at all. He wrote scenes that seemed never to have been written before.
Precisely so, sir. Of course, the same can be said of Mr Chandler as well. To their everlasting glory, these two titans of ‘Murkin fiction elevated a genre that had, until their advent, been snootily derogated as vulgar tabloid trash to the lofty summit of bona fide High Art™ status, sheepish and conflicted as they themselves sometimes seemed to feel about such exaltation. Myself, I’ve always found it surpassing strange that any serious, fair minded, bookish-type personage could come away from a careful exploration of their work with any other conclusion.
Subject matter be damned: the writing itself is unfailingly taut, spare, impactful, riveting. Their words float like a butterfly, sting like a gargantuan bee, hit like a George Foreman tooth-loosener right in the puss. This is writing that will knock you out; pick you up off the canvas; help you to your corner; and then come back at you swinging—again and again and again. And God help you, you will LOVE it. That’s how strong this stuff is. It’s downright addictive, that’s what.
Of course and as always, YMMV on all this. But in all honesty, it shouldn’t, it really, really shouldn’t. If it does, you’re more to be pitied than censured, that’s my view.
To sum up, then: FUCK Mark Rowley; FUCK the British government; FUCK the turncoat Brit coppers who are willing to arrest their own fellow Britishers for defending themselves and their families against a Mooselimb immivader horde inflicted on them by said government; and FUCK any and every sucker of dead donkey dick in our own shitheel goobermint who would dare to even dream of assisting Mr Rowley with his threatened “extradition” of Real Americans to his Moslem-conquered shitrapy.
I repeat: anytime you’re feeling froggy enough, ass-chancre. Let’s just see how that works out for ya in the end.
* Alas, the Op’s perfect riposte isn’t actually findable at the link, which only provides the barest bit of context; I couldn’t find the quote posted anywhere, but I knew it was from Red Harvest—one of Hammett’s finest, most fully-realized efforts (which is truly saying something), a book I’ve read and re-read who even knows how many times over lo, these many years—so I was forced to make do with whatever I could lay my hands on in the way of a supporting link. The Op’s characteristically blunt and concisely-put advice/threat/promise was issued in response to Head Poisonville Bad Guy Elihu Wilsson (ironically enough, the very malefactor who hired the Op to “clean up Personville” in the first place) ordering his manservant to throw the Op out of his palatial mansion bodily; the butler was extremely dubious about his ability to do so, which wise dubiety the Op reinforced via the above quip.
PARTHIAN SHOT! If you think yourself a fan of the detective noir genre but have somehow (incomprehensibly, inexplicably, inexcusably) missed out on Red Harvest, The Dain Curse, The Glass Key, or any other stories from Hammett’s Continental Op canon—not to even mention non-Op essentials such as The Thin Man and The Maltese Falcon—why good LORD man, what on earth are you WAITING for, prithee tell?

Again: seconded, with all my heart and soul.

From Churchill to Thatcher to…Starmer? From stiff upper lip to bending the knee? From colonizer to colonized? From rugby ruffians and soccer hooligans to Manwoman dick-choppers?

Welcome to this week’s installment of our Wednesday meme feature, folks. 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.

ALL the governments: (not) Great Britain, Ireland, France, Churmany, Amerika v2.0—ALL of them.
It’s difficult to improve upon this Tweeter’s summation of the present state of the United Kingdom:
#UK the British police wasted hours interrogating #TommyRobinson under the “terror act” while someone actually planned a terror attack and was able to carry it out ‼️🙄#Southport pic.twitter.com/795lO17zlr
— Lilly inLondon (@Lillyin_London)
However, just for the record, from the BBC:
The attack was not terror-related, police said.
No, of course not, perish the thought. Is it ever, really?
Well, it certainly struck terror into the heart of Southport. But presumably Merseyside Constabulary meant that the perp was not a card-carrying member of a recognised terrorist organisation acting on instructions from a renowned terrorist mastermind. Instead, as merely yet another paid-up member of the Amalgamated Union of Lone Wolves, he fatally stabbed two young children at a Taylor Swift “dance workshop”, and injured nine more, six of them critically. [UPDATE: A third victim has died. Three dead, all girls – six, seven and nine.]
As is now traditional on such occasions, police profess to be baffled by the “motive” for the attack.
Perhaps the notion that there can be a plausible “motive” for the stabbing of infants is not terribly helpful. Motivated or not, Europe has rather a lot of it.
America has mass shootings; Europe has mass stabbings. From Southport to Annecy to Dublin, your kid goes to a dance class…or the park…or her kindergarten – and gets stabbed. Eva and I used to cover these motive-less “incidents” on The Mark Steyn Show soberly and honestly, in part because:
a) very few other people did, save for Tommy Robinson, whom the British state has now driven into exile; and
b) there is not a lot to be said for a polity willing to sacrifice its youngest and most vulnerable on the altar of “diversity”. Such a society will not survive, and indeed does not deserve to.
And yet the state, in Britain as in Europe, seems to be making a conscious effort to accept occasional child sacrifice as a routine feature of life. If one were genuinely baffled by motive, one might expect a bit more effort in media reports as to why this happened, instead of tedious examples without end of the ghastly hand-wringing passivity of official reaction, from the King and his first minister down – and zero coverage of the realities of the crime and the truth about its perpetrator.
Which cumulatively suggests that this is just the price one has to pay for the vibrant multiculti utopia the Uniparty has brought us: Don’t worry, there won’t be a lot of it, we’ll try to hold it down to what the cynics at the Home Office used to call (with respect to Irish terrorism) “an acceptable level of violence”. But once in a while your moppet will go to a Taylor Swift workshop and not come home.
Against expectations, the sheep-like British general populace r’ared up on their hindlegs en masse to protest the bleedin’ ‘ell out of what’s been done to them and to their once-proud, long since enfeebled nation—intentionally and with malice aforethought—by their blighted government, thereby spurring the vile PM to LEAP into action with tremendous vim and vigor to let the revoltin’ peasants know, in no uncertain terms, just exactly what’s what.
British prime minister condemns spreading violent protests as ‘far-right thuggery’
Aug. 4 (UPI) — Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain condemned violent protests that have erupted throughout the country following last week’s brutal stabbing spree as “far-right thuggery” that will be met with the “full force of the law.”In a televised address on Sunday, Starmer warned those either participating in the violence or fueling it online that they will “regret taking part in this disorder.”
“This is not protest. It is organized, violent thuggery. And it has no place on our street or online,” he said.
Violence instigated by far-right protesters has erupted throughout cities in Britain after three children were killed and eight others were wounded, five critically, in a stabbing spree committed July 29 at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the seaside town of Southport. Two adults were also injured.
We’re all chuffed to know for sure whose side he’s on, I’m sure. Carry on then, lads; cheerio, cor blimey, stiff upper lip and all that, wot wot. I s’y mates, cracking good show, eh? God save the King Mahdi, and may the sun never set on His Holy Caliphate. Too right, and well done!
Overthrow ALL the governments? That’s exactly what I said, bub, and that’s exactly what I meant too, damned skippy. When a government defiantly, bare-facedly demonstrates itself to be the enemy of its people—as all the above-mentioned ones among plenty of others indubitably have done—what recourse is left to those it misrules, affronts, and abuses but to rid themselves of it by any and/or all means necessary? Unpleasant, unpalatable, and just downright terrifying as the prospect is…well, as I always say, here we all are just the same.
So be it then. Let all peoples immiserated by a malevolent Leviathan-state cast aside doubt, abjure fear, and steel their resolve for the long, brutal struggle inevitably to come—a truly existential conflict, waged against a monstrous, merciless adversary—in which there will be no “Participant” trophies awarded post bellum, nor any “Chairborne Warrior” medals with “Perfect Attendance” cluster. Nope, I’m afraid pretty much every ambulatory swingin’ Richard is gonna be a shooter & looter for the impending festivities, if only due to the inescapable reality that today, tomorrow, next week, next month, et al the hostilities won’t be held in some distant, far-flung locale with an unpronouncable foreign name and bewildering street-signs that have way too many consonants painted on. This time, no matter how fast and far you run or how cleverly you hide, the battlefield will always be right there; in your town, your neighborhood, your block, your street, your lawn. For most of us, it will be a binary solution-set consisting strictly of two (2) choices: go marching off to war, or let the war come to you. Which, like it or not, I assure you it will.
That being so, let all eyes be opened, the better to see and know the face of The Enemy. Let The Enemy be taught to fear us instead of holding us in contempt, as He has for far too long a time. Let Him forever rue the day when first He made the mortal miscalculation of considering We The People to be His inferiors—His servants, rather than His masters. Let Him pay for these and innumerable similarly blunderous misunderestimations (heh; sorry) dearly, excruciatingly, immensurably—a settling of the karmic debt in turn giving birth to an agony graven so heavily onto whatever passes for His coal-black soul that the pain of it will never dwindle, much less dissipate altogether. Pain so persistent, so incredibly powerful that, in fact, He’ll never know another restful night’s sleep for the vivid Technicolor severity of the recurring nightmares.
One more time: Said it, meant it, don’t give a drizzlin’ shit if it harelips every cannibal on the Congo. To adapt the words of a lionhearted Founding Patriot whose slow recession from America’s collective memory shames us all: if this be Fedposting, make the most of it.
ADDENDUM: Yeh, yeh, I know it’s Wednesday night, and getting sorta late to boot. Spent more time getting this post put together than I really ought to’ve, it sorta put me behind on the meme thang. Happily, all’s I gotta do to get Memezapoppin’ up and at ‘em is just finish the dang thing; having started work on it last night, it’s already about halfway assembled, so pas de sweat. Sit tight, peeps.
Sorry, not seeing the issue here. Or anything at all out of the ordinary, for that matter.
Meet the Little-Known Activist Group That Has Tens of Thousands of Doctors Registering Patients To Vote
From psychiatric hospitals to the NICU, clinical settings have become political battlegrounds.Many patients at the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute, an 89-bed facility affiliated with Pennsylvania State University, suffer from schizophrenia, substance abuse, depression, or bipolar disorder. They cannot complete the “activities of daily living,” the hospital’s inpatient clinic states. Some are “suicidal, aggressive, or dangerous to themselves or others.”
During their stay, which is often involuntary, patients participate in group counseling, learn strategies for stress management, have their medication adjusted, and interact with therapy animals.
They can also partake in a less orthodox therapeutic activity: registering to vote.
Located in a swing state that could decide the 2024 election, the hospital asks psychiatric inpatients, regardless of diagnosis, if they would be interested in “voter registration tools” that let them check their nearest polling station and register to vote online. Patients can also request a mail-in ballot with “assistance” from hospital staff, according to a pair of papers about the project, which began in 2020.
Since then, the hospital has continued registering patients—even those who are not near discharge and have not yet been stabilized—on the grounds that voting, as the institute puts it, is a “therapeutic tool” that “helps empower patients and makes them feel good.”
“Voting is an important part of the recovery process,” Julie Graziane, a geriatric psychiatrist who leads the hospital’s civic engagement efforts, said in a press release. Neither she nor Ruth Moore, the hospital’s head of community engagement, responded to requests for comment.
I repeat: what’s the big deal? Since when is it any big surprise that D卐M☭CRATs are barking-at-the-moon lunatics, pray tell? Candidates; Party officials and staffers; officeholders at every level; interns; Enemedia yap-dogs; canvassers; voters—it’s a case of like calling to like, seems to me, they’re all bugfuck nuts.

Communist, coward, child-mutilation advocate, self-serving liar, Blue Falcon—what more does anybody really need to know about the loathsome Tim Walz? D卐M☭CRATs just don’t come any more D卐M☭CRAT than this.
Fellow veteran speaks out on Walz’s misleading statements about military record
“As soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he turned and ran the other way and hung his hat up and quit,” said Tom Behrends, a retired command sergeant major who replaced Gov. Tim Walz on a deployment to Iraq.On a 150-year-old farm in Brewster, Tom Behrends hopes his tell-it-like-it-is style will finally get the attention he believes it deserves in Minnesota’s race for governor.
“The public needs to know how pathetic his leadership was as a National Guardsman,” Behrends said about Gov. Tim Walz.
“He abandoned us. What the hell kind of leader does that? As soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he turned and ran the other way and hung his hat up and quit,” Behrends said.
This all starts years ago, when Behrends says Walz’s misleading statements about his military service first led him to come forward in the fall of 2018. The story was largely ignored and Minnesota’s largest newspaper, the Star Tribune, checked it out but decided not to publish, according to Behrends.
“When the reporter called, I thought, ‘What the hell, is this North Korea?’” Behrends recalled. Alpha News reached out to the Star Tribune but didn’t receive a response.
Back in early 2005, a warning order went out to southern Minnesota’s First Battalion-125th Field Artillery to mobilize for a mission to Iraq, Behrends said. Walz served as the unit’s highest non-commissioned officer after he was conditionally promoted to command sergeant major on April 1, 2005, records show. On May 16, Walz retired from the guard, avoided the deployment, and ran for Congress.
Walz has implied in previous statements that he didn’t retire because of the deployment, but National Guard records show his service obligation wasn’t complete until September 2007.
Behrends was next in line for the position and was asked to take his place.
“I was like well, for Pete’s sake, if this guy quits, if I say I’m not going to do it, I mean, what the hell kind of leadership is that?” Behrends recalled. “If a company would say we’re going to deploy to Iraq and the foreman says, ‘I’m not going,’ what does that say to the 500 that work in that factory?”
Command Sergeant Major Behrends went on to serve in Iraq on a nearly two-year deployment, all while Walz began using that very title as a congressman.
Behrends said he contacted Walz with his concerns before raising the issue publicly, sending letters to Washington in 2016. The letters all went unanswered, Behrends said.
Because of course they did; the pus-nutted scumsack Walz being who and what he is, he would’ve been much too chickenshit to own up to his true cut-and-run-D卐M☭CRAT nature. The sick-making story goes on in like vein from there, if you have the stomach for more of it. Then there’s the rest of Walz’s vile family:
What the hell

Aerosmith draws the line.
Aerosmith Retires from Touring After Steven Tyler’s Permanent Vocal Cord Damage
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Aerosmith says Steven Tyler’s voice has been permanently damaged by a vocal cord injury last year and the band will no longer tour.
Last YEAR? My God man, have you ever even heard the band? Tyler’s whole career has been nothing but one long vocal injury.
The iconic band behind hits like “Love in an Elevator” and “Livin’ on the Edge” posted a statement Friday announcing the cancellation of remaining dates on its tour and provided an update on Tyler’s voice.
“He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible,” the statement said. “We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision — as a band of brothers — to retire from the touring stage.”
Tyler announced he injured his vocal cords in September during a show on its Peace Out: The Farewell Tour. Tyler said in an Instagram statement at the time that the injury caused bleeding but that he hoped the band would be back after postponing a few shows.
Tyler’s soaring vocals have powered Aerosmith’s massive catalog of hits since its formation in 1970, including “Dream On,” “Walk This Way” and “Sweet Emotion.” They were near the start of a 40-date farewell tour when Tyler was injured.
“We’ve always wanted to blow your mind when performing. As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other,” the band said in Friday’s statement to fans.
“It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours,” the band said. “In every club, on every massive tour and at moments grand and private you have given us a place in the soundtrack of your lives.”
I was fortunate enough to see Aerosmith back in my misspent youth around ’78-’79 or thereabouts, playing at the Old Coliseum I was gassing interminably on about the other day. In those days, Tyler and Joe Perry were known as the Toxic Twins, a moniker they earned many times over across their drinking, drugging, and womanizing days. As great as the music they churned out was back then, it must be said that some of Aerosmith’s very best work was achieved in the years after the Twins had kicked their multifarious bad habits, culminating in the chart-topper I once heard called by an Aerosmith documentary narrator “Steven Tyler’s masterpiece,” to wit:
And of course, when you read my opening line, you just KNEW what was coming, din’tcha?
Holy crap, is that one of those plastic Dan Armstrong pieces o’ crap Perry is playing in lieu of his habitual Les Paul Black Beauty or BC Rich Mockingbird in that one?
Didn’t forget about it this time, folks, honestly I didn’t. It was just that, what with fooling with plugins, investigating slow load times, and struggling to fulfill my core blog-writing duties around this h’yar hogwallow, there really wasn’t time for it. So in the midst of all that angst, I thought holding off on the meme post for this week until tonight might just be the thing to do. So with that said, awaaaay we go!

Can it be possible that every D卐M☭CRAT truly is this stupid? Ahh, never mind, don’t bother answering that one.
Socialists make terrible neighbors
In today’s episode of “Democrats defend unadulterated evil,” vice presidential hopeful and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told liberals, “Don’t ever shy away from our progressive values. One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.”Going full socialist is a bizarre choice if Walz’s mission is to join the Harris ticket. Vice President Kamala Harris was the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate during her brief time in the upper house of Congress, despite the media’s attempts to memory-hole that fact. Mobilizing progressives is the least of the Harris team’s concerns, considering her anemic poll numbers across the Midwestern swing states.
All that aside, let’s consider how neighborly socialism has historically been. Socialist and communist governments murdered an estimated 168,759,000 people from 1900-1987, by far the largest genocide in human history. The Marxists killed six times as many innocent people as the fascists and three times as many people as Genghis Khan’s Golden Horde. The Chinese communists murdered around 90 million people, and Joseph Stalin’s 43 million kills brought the USSR’s death toll to around 70 million, hardly neighborly. Ask a modern-day Ukrainian how it feels to be the neighbors of a post-socialist oligarchic state.
Walz, Harris, and even Marx-loving, Soviet Union-honeymooning Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are no Stalin or Chairman Mao, or at least our constitutional order has thus far successfully prevented them from becoming those dictators. But to pretend that their deranged and oppressive policies are neighborly is as nonsensical as it is malicious.
I implore you not to make the deadly mistake of deceiving yourself for one instant that the aforementioned tyrant-aspirants, Red in tooth and claw, aren’t Stalin, Mao, Che, Pol Pot, Chavez, or Castro by their own choice, nor that they are in any way constrained by conscience, reason, humility, or basic human decency. Far from it; the one, the only reason the slavering monsters haven’t kicked Amerika v2.0’s Gulag Archipelagos, Death Camps, and/or Killing Fields into high gear already is that they haven’t glommed total and unchallenged power for themselves and their loathsome confreres as of yet. Fret ye not though, they’re beavering away at that most murderous of long-term projects even now—and unless/until they are stopped, they always will be.
“Neighborliness,” forsooth. It is to laugh, albeit grimly, bitterly.

"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."
