Don’t start none

Won’t BE none. Schlichter reminds ‘em:


Cry me a fucking river, tough guy. I repeat: if Israel really wanted to genocide your worthless proto-Neanderthal asses, every last one of you would’ve been wiped out long ago.

Big Government: It’s scams, all the way down

Change my mind.

The Ivanpah Solar Power Plant, a sprawling 3,500–acre facility in the Mojave Desert near the California–Nevada border, was built with federal support during the stimulus push under Barack Obama’s first administration. The power plant was meant to help revive the American economy after the 2008 financial crisis, while also expanding renewable energy. It features about 350,000 computer-controlled mirrors to go alongside three imposing 459-foot towers. The sun’s power heats water in the towers’ boilers and makes steam, which then creates electricity. Between $730 million and $780 million of a $1.6 billion government–backed loan tied to the project remained unpaid, according to federal data cited by Fox News Digital. The US Treasury also provided a $539 million grant for the project, which covered roughly 30 percent of construction costs. The only thing it has done successfully since it’s inception is to fry birds in flight. Some estimates say at least 6,000 birds per year have met their demise in the magnified sunlight frying pan. Well played, treehuggers…

Know what’s REALLY sad here? That I can’t honestly say that this jug-eared, slope-shouldered chowderhead—Ogabe, in other words—was the worst President this country ever had.

“The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory”

What, you didn’t think all those statues, plaques, and memorials being torn down, defiled, and/or otherwise destroyed the last several years was mere coinkydink, did ya?

Best think again, sport.

Upon the Soviet Union’s dismissal of 146 historians from Czech universities, Milan Hübl, among those dismissed, is said to have observed, “The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory.” Hübl went on to predict that after a “new history” takes the place of the old “the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was.” Such sentiment echoed a similar southern fear during and after the American Civil War. Confederate General Patrick Cleburne declared that, “Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by northern school teachers; will learn from northern school books their version of the War; will be impressed by all the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.” To Cleburne, along with many other southern patriots, such an outcome was unacceptable. When the cannons fell silent in 1865, the pen became the only weapon the South had left, and many wielded it masterfully.

Smart fella, was ol’ Pat Cleburn. Tough, brave, pugnacious, valiant—he wasn’t known as “the Stonewall of the West” for nothin’, you know.

The above is the opening ‘graph of the deep dive to end all deep dives, one that’s sure to fascinate any Civil War 1.0 buff such as myself to no end. Be warned: it’s a long ‘un, and you’re gonna want to take it all down in one go, lest by leaving and then coming back to it later you lose the essential thread of the piece. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

Who they are

What they do.

Our intellectual and academic culture is dangerously creating violent pro-assassination rhetoric that is creating this cultish desire to kill President Trump. It is not only dangerous to the United States but also the Democrat Party that offers itself as the primary point of peaceful opposition to President Trump. Revered Democrat strategist James Carville recently commended his own ‘trump derangement syndrome,’: “I hate the motherf—–. And you know what? I don’t want to get rid of it [TDS]. I don’t want to get better. I want to get worse. I want to hate him more.” “I pray to God in heaven, God, reign the righteous reign of Trump Derangement Syndrome on me,” he continued. “Pray for me, Lord. I’m your vessel on this earth. Pray for the people that listen to this. We want more. We want to hate the son of a b—- so much that we can’t see straight.” Carville’s incendiary rhetoric is not unrelated to the manifesto of the most recent shooter: “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” Those salacious allegations are common internet talking points for individuals continually challenging one another to ‘do something about Trump.’ The burning of Democrat Josh Shapiro’s home in Pennsylvania is one of a multitude of violent acts instigated by a growing approval of anti-Republican rhetoric that consumes even Democrat idealists. The time is now for American and global society to embrace debate and reason. That requires public outcry about these calls for assassination.

Sorry to have to break the news and all, but that “public outcry” bushwa just ain’t gonna cut it. Gonna need some much stronger medicine to cure what ails Amerika v2.0, I’m afraid.

A good bloodbath

Every nation needs one now and then, just to clear the air. According to Jefferson, at any rate, we’re long overdue for another.

Party of Assassins
The latest Trump assassin wasn’t a radical. He was a Democrat.

There was nothing radical about Cole Tomas Allen: the attempted White House Correspondents’ Dinner assassin. Allen’s manifesto reads a lot like that of the previous three-named assassin Ryan Wesley Routh who was stalking President Trump at a golf game.

Apart from the explicit murder plots, there is nothing in Routh’s ‘Dear World’ letter and Allen’s manifesto that you wouldn’t find in the Washington Post, a Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert monologue or a rant by a Democrat member of Congress. Routh was obsessed with Iran and Ukraine, sounding like Thomas Friedman when he complained that Trump had “ended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled.”

Allen offered even more generic foreign policy criticisms that seemed plucked from network newscasts and fake news coverage of Trump’s campaign against illegal alien criminals, drug cartels, Islamic terrorists in Iran and the cutoff of funds to USAID, ranting about being (“raped in a detention camp”, “fisherman executed without trial” “schoolkid blown up” or “a child starved”).

Did Allen really care about events in Iran or Latin America? Could he even tell them apart?

Rather than Marxism, Routh and Allen offered tepid shopworn liberalism as their justification for murder, “U.S presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity” and “the United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.”

This is the stuff of a Ken Burns op-ed and it shows that both men were more influenced by liberal Trump Derangement Syndrome media products than by Antifa or radical groups.

Allen slurs President Trump as a “pedophile, rapist and traitor”. This line is so commonplace in liberal circles that you can find it all across Bluesky, where the attempted assassin had an account, sold on t-shirts and popping up in op-eds. Social media personalities, talk show hosts and members of Congress have used similar rhetoric to refer to the 47th president.

There’s not much of a political critique. Just a grab bag of lines from MSNBC.

As I’ve said so many times I’m even beginning to bore myself: if Goosesteppin’ Leftists want another Civil War, then Real Americans ought to see to it that they get one…all they want of it, and then some. Because, as stipulated in Mike’s Iron Law #873: They will NOT stop. They will NEVER stop. They will have to BE stopped.

One of these next times, they’re going to get Trump at last. The morning after they do, NYC, Chitcago, SF, and LA ought all to be on fire. By sundown that same evening, battered and/or hacked Leftard corpses should be strewn about so thickly they clog the streets of every city, town, and hamlet across the FUSA.

Problems

When you have one problem, you have to solve it.

When you have several problems, sometimes you can use them to solve each other.

Most pharmaceuticals are tested on animals before they’re tested on humans. Some people have ethical problems with this; I won’t judge you for your beliefs on this either way. Unquestionably, though, there are medical problems with this. Animals are not humans, by definition. Some drugs work the same on mice as on humans. Many don’t. And when testing moves to the human stage, side effects are often found which did not show up in the animal models.

Somewhat related to this, some drugs have different effects on different people. I’ve seen it myself, in which someone I knew had some condition and was getting worse and worse. The doctors went through the standard protocol: Try Drug A. Try Drug A with Supplement B. Try Drug C. Nothing was working. The patient then got a gene scan and about two minutes after receiving it the doc called and said that we need to go with Drug Z. A week later, the patient had visibly improved.

This applies to groups of people as well, ethnic groups and especially racial groups. Whole classes of drugs have different effects on blacks as on Whites, or don’t work at all. This is a real problem for doctors and patients. It’s a bigger problem because historically, most drug testing has mainly used White subjects. This is not because of racism but because almost all pharma research is conducted in majority-White nations and Whites are the most available test subjects. Attempts to solve the problem by actively recruiting black test subjects are doing little good because the blacks won’t step up and volunteer.

That doesn’t stop the complaining and accusations, of course. It’s a problem.

Another problem is the number of people who do not contribute to society. Even if we ignore the parasites who simply consume unearned resources, we have a problem with predators who not only harm individual victims but damage the structure of society. We can put them in prison but at best that converts them into parasites, requiring vast resources to keep them there while they contribute nothing.

Making that worse is the racial component. Blacks are grossly disproportionately represented in the prison population. Solving this problem will be challenging, if it can be solved at all, because of claims of racism, the positive feedback loop of dysfunctional urban culture, and innate human differences.

All three of these problems are challenging to solve. People have been working on each one for decades, with little progress.

But they’ve been looking at their problems in isolation.

We can completely eliminate animal testing by using only human subjects drafted from the prison system. About a third of US prison inmates are black, which should be plenty for researching the differences in drug effects. The parasites and predators will finally be contributing to the society they’ve been taking from. Everyone who matters wins!

It’s turtles lies all the way down

Figures a scum-sucker like Stretch Pelosi would know all about it.


I’m getting a lot of use out of that post title tonight, I must say.

“Things That Must Be Decolonised And Morally Corrected”

This time, it’s bland, innocuous old folk music that has shitlib panties all in a bunch. Too White, don’tchaknow. Next time (and bet your bottom dollar there’ll BE a next time), who the fuck even knows. Vanilla extract, maybe.

Don’t Oppress My People With Your White-Ass Folk Music
In crushed-by-niche-culture news:

University of Sheffield researchers handed taxpayer cash to ‘decolonise’ folk singing.
A mere £1,485,400, since you ask. A gnat’s eyelash. For an issue of such fundamental importance to the turning of the world.

The project… has also been granted extra funds on top of this from bodies such as Research England.

Whew. I was getting worried there.

Taking place at the University of Sheffield, researchers “will take an unflinching look at the white-centricity of folk music repertory, performers and audience by conducting fieldwork to shed light on long-standing vernacular singing practices of ethnic minority cultures in England.”

Obviously, activities that are chiefly indulged in by white people – in this case, folk singing – must be deemed suspect and found problematic with great urgency, and then probed for hidden wrongness. At taxpayer expense.

And behind this mannered waffle is the weird implication that devotees of folk music are somehow, simply by existing, excluding racial minorities. Shooing them away. Though, again, details on this point are neither obvious nor forthcoming. Still, perhaps we can look forward to an academic interrogation of classic car shows in Nottinghamshire as some heinous bastion of “white-centricity.” Another item on the list of Things That Must Be Decolonised And Morally Corrected.

Just cool your jets, you know it’s coming.

Following the quip about British classic car shows as another potential target for pointless academics, commenters svh and asiaseen caution against giving such people ideas:

Not just “white-centricity”, but judging by the photograph, “white-male-centricity.”

That’s this photograph here. Do feel free to grip the arms of your chair.

Just this once, I troubled myself to transcribe the link mentioned above, on account of it’s kinda important. Plus, you can never have too many car-show pics, even if it’s crappy Ainglish autymobiles.

DOG BITES MAN: Yet another megalomaniacal “liberal” bint oversteps authority, beclowns self.

Democrat Prosecutor Just Made a Historic Move Against a Federal ICE Agent — And Conservatives Are Furious
You knew this day was coming.

A far-left prosecutor in a deep-blue county has decided she is going to criminally charge the federal agents trying to enforce our immigration laws.

And on Thursday, she made it official.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced FELONY charges against an ICE agent — and she proudly admitted it is believed to be the first criminal case of its kind brought against a federal immigration officer anywhere in the country.

According to the charging documents, the agent — Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. — is accused of pointing his service weapon at the heads of two civilians during rush-hour traffic on a Minneapolis highway back in February.

The prosecutor’s office says there is now a nationwide warrant out for his arrest.

Let that sink in. A Democrat prosecutor has put an arrest warrant on a federal ICE agent who was on duty. That is not a drill.

NBC News had more on what exactly Moriarty is alleging:

An ICE agent who was part of the federal immigration surge in Minnesota earlier this year was charged with felony second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon. The agent, Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., is accused of pointing a gun at the heads of two civilians in a vehicle.

For “a federal agent, our opinion is that illegally driving on a shoulder, pulling up to a car and pointing a gun at the heads of two community members who are not doing anything at the time is well beyond the scope of their authority,” Moriarty said.

He admitted that he drew his firearm after the victim’s vehicle had already rejoined the normal flow of traffic, corroborating details from interviews with the victim as well as video of the incident.

Sounds like a potentially serious allegation. Except here is the problem.

Federal law enforcement officers acting in their official capacity are shielded by the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. They do not just get hauled into state court at the whim of any activist prosecutor who does not like federal policy.

Actually, it is a DAMNED serious allegation, one I’m not entirely comfortable just waving away so as to score on a fascist, power-drunk shitlib. That said, though, after months of violent Leftist rage-junkies threatening, assaulting, and even weaponizing their own vehicles (sometimes with their young children locked inside) to run over ICE personnel in shitwit “retaliation” for the heinous crime of, y’know, doing the job they’re duly sworn to do, no way can I condone this Moriarty twatwaffle for seeking the ICE agent’s arrest.

The very least that ought to happen to this hard-Left headcase is that she be removed from her job as prosecutor for outrageous abuse of authority.

The no-borders lunatics hate Trump, their ideological opponents, and America That Was with the blazing, blistering intensity of a thousand suns. After decades of increasingly bellicose, deranged rhetoric, they are now waging actual war against an enemy they bitterly, intractably loathe. American Normals had best wake up to ugly reality and begin fighting back, and fast, before whatever slim chance of victory that yet remains to them has been crushed under a great weight of inchoate, irrational Progressivist fury.

Update! I omitted this bit originally, but soon realized what a YUUUGE mistake that was, pithily nutshelling as it does the whole problem.

Read that last line again. “The first case of its kind nationally. We believe it is.”

She is bragging about it. This is not a reluctant prosecutor wrestling with a hard decision — this is a progressive Democrat using her office to plant a flag in the war on federal immigration enforcement.

Exactly, precisely so. Perhaps worse, Lady Cartman appears to be using her office to exact revenge against a jumped-up Federal nobody who she clearly thinks needs to be put in his place—ie, subordinate to and properly respectful of her exalted “authoriteh.”

Somebody needs to put the brakes on this nasty bitch, and I mean sudden-like.scat-video.orgpornjoy.orgxfaps.orgjosporn.netxfantazy.org

Ingrates

 How sharper than a toothless child it is to have a thankless serpent. Or, y’know, something like that.

So, you may ask – if we’re not very aligned ideologically, then it must be that we bring something to the party militarily?

Well, no…actually…we don’t matter that much militarily.

The USA has about 470 ships in its navy, including 11 aircraft carriers, 69 submarines, 75 destroyers… plus 110 new ships in the pipeline.

Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines. The UK does a little better, with about 60.

Meanwhile, the US has over 14,000 military aircraft. A staggering number.

Australia has 252 military aircraft. The UK has 556.

The US army has just shy of 1,000,000 uniformed personnel in its military. Australia has about 45,000.
The USA spends 3.4% ($968 billion) of its GDP on defence. Australia spends 2% ($36.4 billion). The US spends as much as the next 15 largest military-spending countries (including China) combined.

The USA has a fighting culture. The men shoot things (a lot) and hunt things, the veterans get favoured in everything from parking spots to boarding planes. A uniformed young man is thanked in the street a dozen times a day.

“Oh, the Americans and their guns!” we say, in our smug way. Yes, they have a warrior culture. We do not. We don’t have to, because we’re a leech on theirs.

Militarily, we don’t offer squat.

Meanwhile, look at the way Australia works against America’s interests by loving on China. China made us rich and we stay close. This is a Marxist regime with expansionist aims.

Again, you have to spend time in the USA to realise just how vast a gulf there is between us on China.

Europe, too. They let China have their way everywhere from Germany to Greenland, all the while importing Islam and sending their own people to court for saying hurty words.

Somehow, we have landed the deal of a lifetime with the USA that says, “when the baddies come, you’ll save us ok?” Because we can’t save ourselves.

And we live in peace. But we keep gnawing away at freedoms, keep enabling China, and get flabby and disinterested about our military because Uncle Sam’s got it.

And, let’s be honest, Americans are widely looked down on. To add insult to injury, we don’t think that highly of our protectors.

So, the USA is finally saying “enough.” I am here, I can tell you what the vibe is, and that’s it. Trump is doing what people want in this regard. They’re over it.

And we come across all shocked and hard done by. We behave like people with no self-insight at all.

Yes, the global alliance system is all over the place now. From America’s perspective, it’s about time.

And I must say, though I be a proud Australian, I am forced to agree. Something has to change.

Oh, you just bet your sweet bippy it will—sooner or later, for better or worse, one way or another.

Iran: the REAL solution

STRONG HINT: Don’t let’s anybody get sidetracked or distracted by blockades, negotiations, or other pointless pettifoggery. There remains one, and only one, correct answer to the nagging Iran question, and it’s been the same for nigh on fifty (50) years. To wit:

To Blockade or Not Blockade, That Is the Question. But There’s Only One Answer: REGIME CHANGE.
We’ve gone from 4D chess to 4D blockades.

Will it work?

The New York Post says yes: “Trump Brilliantly Calls Iran’s Bluff — With His Own Strait of Hormuz Blockade”

Bloomberg says no: “The Hormuz Blockade Is a Throwdown the U.S. Can’t Win”

Question for the readers: Which outlet is right and which one is wrong?

Answer from the writer: Yes.

The New York Post is correct: Trump’s blockade of a blockade deprives Iran of profiting from ransom payments and/or selling any oil, thus increasing its economic suffering. It weakens one of the mullah’s biggest bargaining chips.

If you assume that Iran is negotiating in good faith, weakening the mullahs’ bargaining position makes tactical sense.

But Bloomberg is also correct: It’s extraordinarily unlikely that Trump can blockade his way to victory, especially in the short term. More likely than not, the blockade would have to last months — if not years — to bear fruit, and for a candidate who ran on the platform of “no more forever wars,” that’s not an attractive option.

Besides, the economic pain will be shouldered unevenly, with the nations that actually care about the welfare of their people screaming far louder than the mullahs. Iran doesn’t mind suffering — as long as everyone else suffers, too.

If you assume that Iran is negotiating in bad faith, a blockade of a blockade is an incremental tit-for-tat escalation that increases everyone’s pain points without bringing us any closer to a real solution.

In other words, it’s a waste of time.

Perhaps a smarter strategy is to hit the mullahs with a threat they dread far more than a blockade. I’m talking about the two words that have horrified Americans since the Iraq War of the early 2000s: regime change.

But not Iraqi-style regime change, where we plant U.S. soldiers overseas and try to build a new government from the ground up in a foreign land. That’s regime building, not regime change.

I simply mean smashing the current regime.

Under President George W. Bush, American foreign policy operated under the “Pottery Barn rule,” which meant, as Secretary of State Colin Powell explained, “If you break it, you own it.”

But why? What prevents us from breaking it and simply walking away?

What’s wrong with regime change WITHOUT regime building?

Egg-zackly, precisely so, and just what I (perhaps mistakenly) assumed the plan had been right from the start. Alas, with his useless “negotiations,” his unconvincing bluster about “destroying civilizations,” and now his “blockade of a blockade” strategery, Trump seems to be wandering farther and farther afield from the lone bone-simple solution that addresses all the concerns any sensible sort might have about the still-intact Mad Mullah regime: nuclear weapons; support for terrorism; menacing anti-American and -Israel with both rhetoric and physical action; the bloody suppression and/or mass murder of anti-regime protesters; et al ad nauseum.

It still shocks me that, after a fine start which saw a cpl/three waves of Ayatollahs righteously taken out by a shitstorm of High Explosive Death From Above, Trump inexplicably halted the bombing and floundered about in search of avenues more acceptable to the namby-pamby Jurassic Media consumers of the world, resulting in the continued survival of the selfsame Mullah goobermint which had started all the trouble way back in Jimmeh Peanuthead’s day.

I say again: if Trump pulls out, declares “victory,” and leaves any kind of entity called “the Islamic Republic of Iran” still intact behind him, then the whole misbegotten enterprise was a complete waste of time, money, materiel, and American lives. The Mullahs must go. There is no acceptable alternative—NONE.

Someone Please Save the Mannequin From this Little Muslim Boy!
This isn’t an isolated incident in this part of the world.

A disturbing video has gone viral on Indian social media. While Jihad Watch has not independently verified the footage, several local news outlets have reported on it.

The clip shows a very young boy, not older than five or six, standing outside what appears to be a garment store. A mannequin of a young girl, dressed in children’s clothing, seems to draw his attention. The child, wearing a salwar kameez and an Islamic skullcap, then approaches the mannequin.

What follows is profoundly unsettling. The boy begins by inappropriately touching the mannequin’s face and kissing it repeatedly, then pulls at the neckline of the T-shirt, peers inside, inspects the chest, lifts the shirt further, touches the torso, and attempts to remove the jeans by tugging at the drawstrings.

All of this unfolds in broad daylight. A woman in a hijab passes by the scene without reacting, as if nothing unusual is happening. Unable to loosen the drawstring, the boy abandons the attempt and focuses again on the mannequin’s upper body, continuing to touch it repeatedly and forcefully.

The exact location of the video has not been verified; however, the Bangla-language shop signs visible in the video indicate it could be in either West Bengal or Tripura in India or in Bangladesh.

Boys raised in this pre-medieval ideology grow up exposed to rigid and problematic ideas about women, particularly notions that women must always be covered or under male supervision. They grow up seeing social media content by jihad-recruiting pages portraying women as objects whose worth or safety depends on how they dress or behave. One of their widely shared memes compares women to candy, portraying a “covered” piece as safe and desirable, while an “uncovered” one is said to attract insects. Such comparisons reduce women to objects and promote the harmful idea that a woman’s safety or respect depends on how she dresses, rather than on the responsibility of others to behave appropriately. Boys who grow up in these circles, hence, believe it is completely okay to touch, fondle, or sexually assault women who do not conform to their religious values. They are all “maal-e-ganimat,” a.k.a. war booty for them. Have you not heard of grown Muslim men being caught in a Western country for sexually assaulting girls, and the excuse they present in defense is that they didn’t know that rape was illegal? Yes, that’s exactly what we are talking about.

However, the child in the video is not an adult; he is a very young boy. At that age, children in most settings are only beginning to learn the basics; many are still struggling with the alphabet and may not yet be able to recite a simple nursery rhyme. But the skull-cap-wearing boy in his oversized kurta knows every action that translates to sexual assault in the regular world. The possibility that the boy could repeat similar behavior in the presence of a real, unattended girl cannot be ruled out.

“Ruled out”? You jest. It cannot be prevented, more like, which shitlibs don’t actually want to do anyway. Instead of wringing our hands and boo-hoo-hooing about “saving the poor mannequins from the widdle Moslem feral rapists,” it’s time and past time we started thinking about saving ourselves.

They’re going to shit all over LOTR again

Gird your loins, John Ronald Reuel lovers.

If ‘Lord of the Rings’ Isn’t Quite Dead, This Guy Can Finish It Off
The Fellowship of the Ring — the opening chapter of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, one of the greatest achievements in movie history — turns 25 this December, and since then, Hollywood has inflicted one indignity after another on Tolkien’s masterpiece. The worst may be yet to come.

What’s it called when the greedy mining company takes the tailings from its strip mine and runs them through the smelter one more time with all the reckless abandon of Gollum diving after the One Ring into Mount Doom?

Ah, yes — it’s called The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past, and lame-duck late-night host Stephen Colbert will co-write it with his son, screenwriter Peter McGee, for Jackson and Warner Bros, which now owns New Line. Variety reported late Tuesday that Colbert, “a vocal Tolkien fanatic,” and McGee will write a screenplay “from chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring that didn’t make it into Jackson’s 2001 adaptation.”

Or as the movie’s official logline put it, “Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began.”

So Shadows of the Past won’t really take us back to 2001 and fill in the missing parts of Fellowship. It will take aging versions of Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin and saddle them with an all-new girl-boss.

Fan reactions on X range from “I’d rather jump into the fires of Mount Doom” to “What is this need to mar great artistic works with slop fan fiction manglings?” Despite my best time-wasting efforts, I was unable to find a single positive response.

Maybe Colbert is a vocal enough Tolkien fan to make this work. Or maybe Jackson and his crew should do what Saruman couldn’t, and just leave the Shire alone.

A big, fat AAAAA-fargin’-MEN to that, Steve.

Update! Ace puts in his two cents:

Disaster! Warner Bros. Hires New Writer for Lord of the Rings Mid-quel: Steven Colbert
—Disinformation Expert Ace

Good heavens, what an absolute disaster.

We have the Hunt for Gollum coming up, directed by Andy Serkis, who just remade Animal Farm as a pro-socialism, anti-capitalism message movie.

And now Warner Bros. has hired this absolute assclown to write a draft of what is being called “The Shadow of the Past.” The concept of the movie is not terrible: A good part of Fellowship of the Ring was cut out of the Lord of the Rings movies because of time restrictions and also because it contains the character Tom Bombadil, who is just a big ball of plot questions. Like, given that he has godlike power that makes even Gandalf and Elrond envious, why doesn’t he just take the ring? (Tolkien’s lame answer: Because he’s flighty and would eventually just forget about the ring and let it go back to Sauron.)

The reason this section of the book is worth possibly making a movie about is the creepy, scary encounter with the Barrow Wights. If you know, you know.

So Colbert, I guess, pitched the idea of doing these four chapters of LOTR as a stand-alone mid-quel movie.

Couldn’t they just have said “Yes that’s an okay idea, here’s $20,000 as a finder’s fee, now fuck off”?

Sure they could’ve. But being shitlibs, they’d have never, ever, dreamed of doing such a thing, thereby offering tacit insult to one of their most iconic Trump-deranged heroes.

ICE is large, in charge, and on the job

All the more reason for anti-American “liberals” to hate their guts, then.

Scott Jennings Shuts Down CNN Panelist’s Anti-ICE Rant With Single Question
(DCNF)—Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings shut down former Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff and “No Kings” agitator Miles Taylor Monday night by asking him one question about an arrest at San Francisco International Airport.

President Donald Trump on Saturday ordered United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to assist Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers who have been working without pay for over five weeks. Taylor complained about a Sunday arrest, which took place before Trump’s order took effect.

“Is there a single report today of something going awry with ICE agents… Maybe there is” Jenning asked before “CNN Newsnight” guest host Kasie Hunt responded, “Well, thank God, for 24 hours something didn’t happen.”

“There was. There was an ICE agent refusing to identify himself arresting a woman in an airport, freaking people out. They weren’t even sure. It was in San Francisco airport,” Taylor claimed, with Jennings responding, “Well, what kind of an interaction was it actually? Do you know the situation?”

ICE agents apprehended an illegal alien from Guatemala who tried to flee as the agency was trying to enforce a deportation order dating from 2019, according to a Monday post on X.

Bold mine, and entirely dispositive. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: if it weren’t for lying, shitlibs would have nothing to say at all.

Deport. Them. ALL. Reminds me of a minor hassle I had with a Hispanic Walmart delivery driver who couldn’t speak a lick of English. He couldn’t find my house even after I’d wasted nearly half a damned hour on the phone trying to walk the guy in turn by turn, finally ran across my place by sheer luck and/or actual magick. It was entirely obvious that the guy couldn’t read the street signs, and had no clue what I was saying.

Throughout this whole frustrating circle-jerk the halfwit kept asking me did I no hablar the español, until I finally got sick and tired of messing around with his dumb ass. I told him no, I most certainly did NOT hablar the español, that this was the United States of America, that we speak English in this country, and that if this was a problem for him he definitely needed to consider going back to wherever the hell he came from. After having had to deal with these immivaders dozens of times—screwed-up grocery orders, wrong and/or missing items, orders thrown out into the front yard of the wrong house several miles away, lather, rinse, repeat—I get where this FLA State Trooper is coming from.


Heh. THAT’S how you do it: shut ’em down; impound the truck so whoever hired this asshole for the driver job gets to share in the misery for a change; deport the driver; and throw the entire upper-level management of said corner-cutting trucking firm in prison for a 10 year stretch. Let the non-English-speaking trucker climb back into his rig with nothing more punitive than a citation written in a language he ain’t gonna understand, imposing a fine he ain’t gonna pay and setting a court date he ain’t gonna show up for, on the other hand, and soon enough Chico’s gonna kill a family of four when his (overweight, uninsured) tractor-trailer slams head-on into their subcompact struggle-buggy at 80MPH, whistling a peppy little conjunto tune as he motors happily along down the wrong side of the highway.

Common sense on the Court

Sounds about right to me. But then, I’m inclined to be sensible like that, see.

Supreme Court sounds skeptical of late-arriving ballots, a Trump target
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ‘s conservative majority on Monday sounded skeptical of state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail ballots, a persistent target of President Donald Trump.

A ruling, likely to come by late June, that bars counting ballots arriving after Election Day would send officials scrambling in 14 states and the District of Columbia, just a few months before the 2026 midterm congressional elections to change their ballot rules.

An additional 15 states that have more forgiving deadlines for ballots from military and overseas voters also could be affected.

The legal challenge is part of Trump’s broader attack on most mail balloting, which he has said breeds fraud despite strong evidence to the contrary and years of experience in numerous states. Trump has repeatedly claimed that his loss to Joe Biden in 2020 resulted from fraud even though more than 60 court decisions and his own attorney general said that argument had no merit.

The court heard arguments in a case from Mississippi pitting the state against Trump’s Republican administration and the Republican and Libertarian parties. At issue is whether federal law sets a single Election Day that requires ballots to be both cast by voters and received by state officials.

Via Ace, who adds:

It’s obviously just farming fake votes to steal elections in the unconstitutional overtime period.

And the Justices appear to believe that when the Constitution specifies an Election Day, it means AN Election DAY, not an election week or an election month or an unspecified election period allowing the printing of millions of fake ballots.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that his loss to Joe Biden in 2020 resulted from fraud even though more than 60 court decisions and his own attorney general said that argument had no merit.

1, that’s all false, and 2, this has nothing to do with the actual legal question at hand, which is: When the Constitution speaks of an (singular) Election Day, do they mean it or were they just joshing?

It’s amazing how leftwing communists routinely invent words and penumbras that don’t appear in the Constitution, but, when faced with the Constitution’s actual words, claim “Oh that doesn’t matter, that’s like 100 years old, man.”

“Amazing” isn’t quite strong enough to meet the case, but maybe that’s just cynical ol’ me talking.

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
