Hate to have to say it, but Trump is an idiot, and he’s screwing the pooch by the numbers.

Trump: No Need to Rush Anything With Iran

Frankly, I would rather see action rather than talk

I would like to see oil prices and inflation back down

And I am sick and tired of Iran poking us in the eye on the world stage, and making it look like we’re desperate for some sort…

Here’s the ugly truth of the matter, via Lakeside Joe.

That penultimate line—“The regime can only be stopped by force” et al—assumes something not so far in evidence, namely that “At some point, Trump will be convinced of this reality.” It’s my considered opinion that Trump, being at heart a basically decent sort who derives no pleasure from killing people in job lots, would vastly prefer to make some kind of deal with the Mullah regime, even though any deal the howling Western infidel makes with the Mullahs won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.

Which in turn means that Trump, having an entirely unrealistic view of the opponents he is confronting—ie, a far too charitable one regarding their willingness to deal fairly and honestly with “the Great Satan,” among other things—should never have dragged us into the Iran quagmire in the first place. His Presidency will be regarded by future historians, if any, as a catastrophe, one this piss-poor excuse for a nation will be paying for for generations, possibly even centuries. Sorry, but IMO that’s the long and the short of it.

Update! Just got off the phone with my brother Jeff, who just minutes ago shelled out $1100.00 at a truck stop to fill up his Freightliner with diesel fuel, but won’t make anything close to that much this week. He says another month or so of losing money like this and he’ll be out of business, and the truck will be up for sale. No need to rush anything, eh, Donald? *spit*

Vermont pays $566K in damages, legal fees to Christian school it banned from all sports competitions for years
A settlement agreement following mediation was finalized Tuesday after the school was barred from athletics and academic competitions for two years

FIRST ON FOX: State education agencies in Vermont have paid over $566,000 in damages and legal fees to a Christian school that was banned from all sports and academic competitions for two years after its girls’ basketball team refused to compete against a trans athlete in 2023.

A settlement agreement following mediation was finalized on Tuesday that awarded the plaintiffs, including the Mid Vermont Christian School and its law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the $566,000.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Vermont Principals’ Association and the Vermont State Board of Education for a response.

The settlement comes after a years-long saga in which all the school’s sports teams, and even its academic teams, like spelling bee and mathletes, had to travel out of state to compete against other schools.

The academics-team ban sorta gives the underlying intention here away as being punitive, as opposed to reformatory or remedial. Also petty, spiteful, childish, and sooooo cheap.

But yeah, let’s just give shitlib-run states total control over, basically, EVERYFUCKINGTHING: activities,; interpersonal relationships; interests and avocations; entertainment choices; diets; careers; health care; family life; crime & punishment; you name it. Hey, what could go wrong, amIright?

The conflict dates back to an afternoon early in the 2023 school year at Mid Vermont Christian, when the school decided to forfeit a girls’ basketball postseason game against a team with a trans athlete.

Their Christian faith was more important to them than a game. But it was still a hard call, and it brought some tears.

“We were all in agreement that the right decision was to not compromise our beliefs and to withdraw, but the conversation with the players was the hardest,” Mid Vermont Christian girls’ basketball coach Chris Goodwin told Fox News Digital.

“Because you play a 20-game season, and you put in the work and the expectation is that you enter the postseason tournament with a shot to see how you’re going to do and to see how far you can get. So there were some teary eyes, and some sad faces, but in the end, they all really did understand that it was the right thing to do.”

Of course it was. For the state government, the local city council, the school board, and essentially every relevant authority to flout the will of We The People by…

Summarily rubbishing long-acknowledged standards identifying what does, and does NOT, constitute “male” and “female”
Playing up to a baying mob of degenerates, psychopaths, and violence-prone thugs via not merely tolerating their delusions and depravities, but by insisting that EVERYBODY ELSE must wholeheartedly endorse this mass mental infarction as well, or else face the unleashed wrath of the rabid jackal pack incited by their own conniving selves
Wantonly put young women at risk of serious physical harm by forcing them to compete in athletic events against generally taller, heavier, faster, stronger young males—scientifically and statistically proven to have bigger, denser bones; greater muscle mass and elasticity; more stamina, etc—thus in effect scrapping all those female-only sports teams, leagues, divisions, and organizations without reference to scientific fact, observable reality, fair play, or good old-fashioned common sense
Reordering entire communities so they might more closely comport with Left/liberal dogma, Wokester shibboleths, and transitory fads, further enabling said unasked-for, unwarranted, and unwelcome reordering via discarding/denouncing traditional intellectual, moral, religious, and/or legal strictures without ever offering their sane, sensible opponents so much as a token public hearing in which they might effectively argue their position
Prioritizing the arbitrary wants (NOT needs) of a statistically-barely-existent fringe of warped freaky-deaks over the safety, well-being, and clearly expressed will of the vast majority of well-adjusted, peaceable, Normal Vermonters

…civil authority at every level breaks faith, both implicitly and explicitly, with those they (mis)rule. I daresay our Founding Fathers would have wasted not an instant quibbling amongst themselves over what the response to such a heinous breach of trust and honor ought to be. Not only would they have known right away what needed to be done, they’d have gone right ahead and done it, too.

IMHO, the State of Vermont let itself off pretty light with that relatively measly half-mill payout to the hapless peasantry it ran roughshod over. On the other hand, though, the schooling those innocent victims of Vermont’s PC tyranny just received in whether, and how far, their government Lords ’n’ Masters should be trusted is not something they’re likely to forget very soon…or at all, actually.

Admittedly, I would much prefer that all Ladies’ restrooms in Vermont’s legislature building be converted to Unisex with immediate effect, so that those exalted Vermont State Congressdames might enjoy the selfsame privilege they callously foisted upon young female athletes: that of having mentally-unbalanced Manwomen running around waving their goobs at ‘em each and every time they hit the powder room to “freshen up.”

The meat of the matter

Posted on April 18, 2026April 18, 2026 by Mike

This. This, right here.

Winning in Iran Is Worth Losing the Midterms
There has been much hand-wringing among us conservatives about the upcoming midterms. Will we win them? Lose them? What do the polls say? What will be the deciding factor? The economy? Some 11th hour scandal? Or, more pressingly, Iran? What should we do if Iran proves to be a detriment to our chances?

The hard truth is that the Iran War needs to be fought to completion. If that takes another week, another month, or another year, it needs to be done. The worst possible thing Trump can do is to cut a deal just for the sake of cutting a deal and going home with enough time to recover in the polls before midterms.

Because all that will do is leave the enemy intact to fight another day. Assuredly, they will.

A-yup. With ya so far, dude. BUT…

Do I want to lose the midterms? No. But I think a midterm loss will be a lot less devastating than its currently being made out to be.

Annnnnd that’s where ya lost me. Well, kinda-sorta, anyhoo. Fact is, ANY loss to the SatanCrats from here on out will be more than devastating, not least because the first thing they’re gonna do is undo every good thing Trump managed to accomplish this time around. Y’know, just like Bribem did LAST time around.

What it all comes down to at this late date is this: destroying the D卐M☭CRATs utterly is now every bit as urgent as destroying the Mad Mullah regime in Iran is. The only saving grace I can descry, re the author’s argument, is that, as we already know all too well, destroying the Dims is gonna require a lot more of Real Americans than just winning an election or three. In fact, irony of ironies, it will require many of the same things that destroying the Mullah regime will.

Update! A point worth making, which I opted to omit earlier but on further reflection decided should be noted.

My point is, losing the midterms won’t be an unmitigated disaster because Trump holds the veto pen, Trump makes the military decisions, and Trump can outmaneuver anything they lob at him. A midterm loss would be the price we pay for a resounding 2028 landslide when a Vance/Rubio steamroller crushes whatever flax seed munching, non-binary clown car the Democrats unveil as their next sacrificial lamb.

When the 2028 campaign seasons kicks into high gear, we will have the previous two years working to our advantage. We will be able to show, again, just how insane the left behaves when it is given just a modicum of power. And we will be able to show that the MAGA Republicans were the only ones in the last half-century who decisively dealt with the Iran problem.

Fair enough, I suppose. But can we safely assume that Leftard insanity amounts to a deal-breaker for a majority of us? For enough of us to even matter?

A circus of error

Posted on April 10, 2026April 10, 2026 by Mike

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ask a silly question

Posted on March 4, 2026March 4, 2026 by Mike

The esteemed (and usually estoned and esdrunked, to swipe one of my old friend Pfouts’ most memorable lines) Matt Margolis asks one of the silliest—no, make that the stupidest—questions of all time.

Are Leftists Really This Stupid About Iran?

Oh, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt! To ask it is to answer it, I’m afraid. And while we’re on the subject…

Claude is down, so I had to make use of Grok to estimate how long it will take for US and Israeli air defense systems to run out of interceptors. No precise calculation is possible, especially since the in-theater total is a subset of the entire US stock, but it appears obvious that both the USA and Israel will be effectively unable to defend against missile barrages by this time next week at the latest.

…Claude is back up and here are its estimates:

Estimated total: roughly 1,400-1,500+ projectiles launched by Iran across all theaters in ~36-48 hours, with the vast majority intercepted but a significant number — perhaps 70-100+ — making impact. At least 14 people killed outside Iran (10 in Israel, 3 in UAE, 1 in Kuwait, 1 in Bahrain) plus 4 US service members, with hundreds injured.

Pretty gosh-darn scary, I suppose—provided everything carries on exactly as it has so far, with no changes, disruptions, or unlooked-for situational shifts either great or small coming to bollix everything up. Which, as we all know very well, has never been the case, and is never going to be, wartime or no.

It’s the exact same thought-pattern that gullible types and/or shitlibs have been tripped up by for many years, one of the most seductive intellectual traps there is: just because this is the way things are NOW, things will keep on just like this forever and ever, amen. T’ain’t so, McGee.

Flogging a long-dead horse

Posted on February 22, 2026February 22, 2026 by Mike

Of course, we’d all like to see at least SOME of the pedophile tycoons, ProPols, British roayls, and showbiz movers/shakers get theirs for having their bosom chum Jeffrey Epstein procure underage girls for them to use as their personal playtoys. Who wouldn’t, really?

Nonetheless, I also gotta say: GET THE FUCK OVER IT AWREADY, WILLYA? The fact of the matter is, the Epstein/pedo scandal ship sailed years ago. Epstein himself is a mouldering corpse; any punishment he will ever have to face was dealt out when he descended into Hell after his phonus-balonus “suicide,” however unsatisfying that denouement might be for some of us. Most of Epstein’s young female victims have refused to testify or even be interviewed about an experience which for them is part of a dim and distant, if horrifying, past.

In sum, anything that was ever going to happen regarding l’affaire Epstein already has.

So for Christ’s sweet sake, just let it go. It’s not as if there aren’t plenty other things to get one’s hackles up about…many of them of far greater import than the Epstein thing, believe it or not. To be perfectly honest, I ‘m just about sick unto death of hearing folks scream and holler Epstein, Epstein, Epstein all the livelong day, as if that ever got anybody anything worth having. Find a more productive outlet for your time and energy, that’s my advice.

Oh, and before I forget: (((***JooJooJooJOOOOOOOOOOZ!!!***)))

Historical illiteracy: it’s a Thing

Posted on February 21, 2026 by Mike

Okay, I gotta admit, this made me laugh.

Dunno if they’re supposed to resemble Zeros or not, but what they look more like to me is FW 190s, excepting the prop spinner. The accompanying textplanation:

Yes, it’s Bluto’s (John Belushi) now iconic gaffe in “Animal House” come true: “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?” Those are German planes on the cover of Michael J. Clark’s history book for young readers about the sneak attack that brought the U.S. into World War II.

Just think about all of the careless, irresponsible boobs, including the author and the cover artist, who had to breach the ethical values of competence, diligence and respect for that book to be published and put on the market. How many must it have been? Then you can add to that List of Shame our pathetic, ruinous education system, which has produced such a nation of dolts that not even a humble secretary or passing clerk had the knowledge to point out, when they saw the book as it made its way through production, “Uh, aren’t those German planes?” Anyone who did, thus preventing this epic embarrassment, might have received a promotion or a bonus. Or at least someone would have bought him or her a nice lunch.

A history book? SRSLY?!? Just hilarity heaped upon hilarity, really, as far as the eye can see. I do believe this Clark feller’s cover artist probably needs to seek other employment for which he is better suited, lest all the pointing and laughing leave him disillusioned and depressed.

Pet peeve(s)

Posted on February 11, 2026February 14, 2026 by Mike

Bold mine.

Rest in peace to the victims. Gender ideology must be utterly decimated before it continues to destroy more innocent souls.

“Decimated,” you say? Why sure, if what you want is to decrease gender ideologies’ prevalence by a whopping one-tenth. See, “decimate” has a very specific meaning, and I do not think that it means what you think it means.

decimate

verb dec·i·mate ˈde-sə-ˌmāt decimated; decimating Synonyms of decimate transitive verb

1 history : to select by lot and kill every tenth member of

decimate a regiment

More.

In the military of ancient Rome, decimation (from Latin decimatio ‘destruction of a tenth’) was a form of military discipline in which every tenth man in a group was executed by members of his cohort. The discipline was used by senior commanders in the Roman army to punish units or large groups guilty of capital offences, such as cowardice, mutiny, desertion, and insubordination, and for pacification of rebellious legions.

The historicity of the punishment during the early and middle republic is questioned, and it may be an ahistorical rhetorical construct of the late republic. Regardless, the first well-attested instance was in 72 BC during the war against Spartacus under the command of Marcus Licinius Crassus. Further instances followed in the next century, mostly occurring during times of civil strife, before falling out of use after AD 69. There is evidence of the punishment’s revival in the post-classical world, such as during the Thirty Years’ War and World War I.

In modern English, the word is used most commonly not to mean a destruction of a tenth but rather annihilation.

Which common usage is totally fucked up, back-asswards, and wrong. Hence, the great annoyance on my part therefrom.

Update! Another longstanding pet peeve of mine.

How can anyone seriously still pretend we don’t have an Islamist extremism problem?

‘Far too many of the mosques in Britain are teaching Islamism. It’s being normalised and not being called out.

Um, sorry to have to tell ya and all, guys, but you Brit wankers have neither an “Islamist extremism” problem nor an “Islamism” problem. What you have, in fact, is an Islam problem. “Islamist” and “Islamic extremism” are merely rhetorical dodges deployed by pusillanimous Westerners to aid them in avoiding the actual issue.

Updated update! Yet another of my personal pet peeves, this particular one a hobby-horse I’ve been flogging the crap out of for a good, long while now.

See that garbage? “Female in a dress with” etc etc. FEMALE. Except, of course, that the TR shooter was no such thing—the violently insane perp was an 18 year old Pyrsynzz of Penis™ name of Jesse Strang. Which makes this kid, far from anything recognizable as “transgender,” a fucking TRANSVESTITE. Precisely as I’ve been insisting for many years now. Bootlessly, natch.

This is and ever shall be the case with all the Mrs Bruce “Barbara” Jenners of the world unless and until such time as they see fit to have the male courting tackle hacked off and tossed into a medical waste incinerator, like my former legs.

RIP Sonny Jurgensen

*Le sigh* OH, how I tire of this 190-proof horseshit. Sonny Jurgensen did not set so much as one (1) passing record for any Washington “Commanders,” nor did he lead them to any NFL championships. In fact, Sonny Jurgensen never took a single snap for the aforementioned “Commanders,” seeing as how he played his entire career quarterbacking for A) the Philadelphia Eagles, and B) the Washington fucking REDSKINS, you tres dainty “journ-o-list” suckers of all possible cock.

Tale of the tape

Posted on January 10, 2026 by Mike

Why yes, the hard-Left flat-rocker bint WAS doing her level best to commit vehicular homicide and instead got herself shot all to Hell and gone for her trouble, why do you ask?

Social media is crawling with self-proclaimed forensic analysts poring over footage of Wednesday’s ICE shooting in Minneapolis and insisting it shows the agent who shot Renee Nicole Good lacked justification. Some of the takes are downright embarrassing, with left-wing influencers confidently analyzing the wrong ICE agent altogether, pointing to the one at the side of the vehicle instead of the agent positioned in front of it. Some simply post the same footage we’ve all seen and merely declare the video proves the agent is a murderer.

I’ve seen it all, and let me tell you, of all the analyses out there, podcaster Tim Pool has delivered the clearest and most persuasive breakdown of the video evidence from the shooting I’ve seen yet.

After initially giving Good the benefit of the doubt, Pool says slowed-down footage forced him to reverse his position completely, and his frame-by-frame analysis is fantastic.

Pool began by acknowledging his earlier assessment and then explained why it no longer holds up. “While I initially said that I believed she wasn’t intending to hit the officer and was trying to flee, but still put the officer in fear of harm — uh, no, I’ve changed my mind,” Pool said.

What changed his view was a close examination of the video at reduced speed. And trust me, lots of people have slowed down and/or enhanced the video, but most have simply done so and claimed it only proved their original conclusion.
Pool, however, walked viewers through the footage and pointed out details that are easy to miss at full speed, details others either missed or ignored, starting with the officer’s feet.

“I’m gonna show you the slowed-down footage that I believe proves this woman was intending to kill that ICE agent. Watch the officer, who has his gun drawn,” he said.

Pool highlights the moment the vehicle makes contact. “Look at his feet right here in the back left. … Notice his feet both slide backwards,” Pool explained. “You see his foot sliding? Yeah, he’s not taking a step. He’s being hit by the vehicle.”

Anticipating the usual defenses, Pool concedes a narrow point before dismantling the broader claim. “Now, I can already hear you saying, ‘Hold on, Tim, if you’re up against a vehicle and it accelerates and it pushes you out of the way, that doesn’t warrant shooting somebody.’ Agreed,” he said.

From there, Pool reversed the sequence to show how the officer ended up directly in harm’s way, and it’s a critical detail.

“Here’s the vehicle reversing. The officer is not in front of the vehicle,” Pool said. “She reverses and now he is in front of the vehicle.” He adds critical context about timing and positioning: “He initially is to the right of the vehicle. By all means argue he should not have placed … himself in this position. We’re talking about seconds.”

The most damning detail comes next.

Eh, if you say so, Matt. Myself, I never from the git-go had the slightest problem believing that—after ceaseless exhortations to interfere, impede, injure, and/or kill ICE officers in the course of doing their jobs emanating from vicious, violent Leftards—one of those mouthbreathers would actually go and do something like this. All things considered, why wouldn’t they? The wonder is that it doesn’t happen four-five times a week, every week.

Australian Counter-Terrorism Police Ram a Vehicle Containing Five Islamic Men Heading Towards Site of Sunday’s Hannukah Slaughter
—Ace

Authorities believe two cars loaded with Islamic men were headed to the scene of the Hannukah slaughter to commit further terroristic violence.

They rammed the car because, it is reported, they believed they had to stop the car immediately.

Nota bene that the article Ace links and excerpts is extremely careful to not use the words “Moslem” or “jihad,” not even once. Admittedly, I didn’t bother reading the whole thing, so maybe that omission wasn’t deliberate and the author mentions those things eventually. However unlikely that might be, of course.

Ace goes on to make another salient point:

The two terrorists had ISIS flags — Islamic State flags, that is.

Nothing to do with religion, huh? The actual terrorists say different.

Sure, sure, but Heaven forfend that we ever take the murderous swine at their word. As the Vichy GOPers always bleat, that would only bring us down to their level, making us every bit as bad as they are.
