Braggadocious

Sorry, but this isn’t nearly as impressive a qualification as she seems to think it is.

Democrat Oregon Governor Tina Kotek took to social media during Lesbian Visibility Week to tout her status as one of only two openly lesbian governors in U.S. history. In her message, Kotek praised Oregon’s “diversity” and identity politics-driven leadership, but it’s clear that her focus on identity over real issues highlights a growing trend in left-wing governance. While President Trump focused on policies that strengthen America, Kotek’s liberal agenda continues to prioritize divisive identity politics, leaving behind real solutions for her state.

Of course, and as usual. But hey, the important thing to remember here is that she’s a lesbian, amIright?

Teh doggehs, or teh Mooselimbs?

A real no-brainer if ever there was one.

Dogs are better than we deserve as people
Some people are shit-head assholes and do not deserve the love and devotion that dogs give.

Officers were called to the airport just before 11:40 p.m. after receiving reports of a dog that had been left behind at the ticket counter, police said in a Facebook statement.

The video shows the woman walking up to the counter with the dog running around behind her. That section of the video clip does not include audio. The woman eventually walks away, leaving the dog’s leash tied to a ticket counter.

She was arrested on the charges of animal abandonment as well as resisting arrest. The two year old doodle was taken in by a rescue organization. She didn’t bother to show up to claim him (definitely for the best). Imagine if she got him as a puppy and then just walked away after two years because it was inconvenient and because she couldn’t even be bothered to get a friend to come pick him up and keep him safe.

Never trust anyone who doesn’t like dogs and anyone who would treat a dog like that should be avoided completely.

Yes indeedy. Seconded, with all my heart and soul.

This one dovetails nicely with Friday’s Eyrie outing, from which I will now quote.

Democrats Call to Censure Rep. Randy Fine for Saying America Will Choose Pet Dogs over Muslim Supremacy
Democratic politicians have found themselves indirectly defending Islam’s 7th-century hatred of man’s best friend, dogs.

Several Democrats have instinctively accused Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) of racism after he reacted to a New York-based Muslim advocate, Nerdeen Kiswani — who said house pet dogs will not be welcome in a non-secular, Islamic New York.

“NYC is coming to Islam,” said a February 12 tweet from Kiswani, referring to the November electoral victory of Zohran Mamdani, the Ugandan-born, Indian-origin, immigrant, populist, and Muslim Mayor of New York. She added:

Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we [Muslims have] said all along, they are unclean [“najis”].

Kiswani responded to many critics: “Lmao at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they’re doing something. It’s obviously a joke I don’t care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is shitting everywhere and you’re not cleaning it.”

Fine responded three days later, on February 15: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”

No, it most certainly is not. As one would expect, this is the point where shitlibs started flipping out and flopping around on the floor like landed carp en masse, hurling all the standard-issue Mark 1-Mod 0 shitlib epithets at Fine: racist, bigot, homophobobe, fascist, Hitler, Islamophobe, et al ad nauseum. Also as one would expect, I seriously doubt you could lay hands on any more than two or three mainstream American types who would’ve taken any kind of issue at all with what Rep Fine said.

I was, and am, not in any way joking about that last bit (I dropped the italics to kinda-sorta highlight my own remarks), nor exaggerating for effect neither. The simple, inescapable fact is that Americans do love their doggeh friends, as well they might, and right straight to H-E-double-toothpicks with those yodeling 9th Century camel humpers and their irrational hatred, fear, and contempt for the canine cohort.

“Dirty”? “Unclean”? Yeah, whatevs. I gar-on-gott-dam-TEE you you don’t want to hear how huge numbers of us describe YOU troglodytic turd-burglars. STRONG HINT: The hoary old jibe “smells like an Ay-rab with a goat under each arm” is NOT intended as a compliment, nor does it flatter y’all flamboyantly pungent motherfuckers’ standards for bodily hygiene in any way, shape, or form. Sad, sorry truth of the matter is, I’ve owned dogs who STILL smelled better than you malodorous sunsabitches after they’d enjoyed themselves a good, long roll in/on/over the putrescent carcass of some long-dead critter or other.

Worst Republican President?

Hands down, no contest IMO. Pathetic George W Bush

Bush Blasts Trump (LOL)

Really, no elaboration needed. From the failed Iraq and Afghanistan occupations with no end and no plan, to the continued losses to marxist democrats domestically, few presidents in history have approached the failures of Bush. The 9/11 response was all Bush, and it was a failure.

2nd worse? Probably the other damn Bush…

I’m aware there is substantial competition.

It ain’t the fruit in the fight, it’s the fight in the fruit

Arthur Sido provides a timely reminder.

One of the jokes we tell ourselves on /ourside/ is that in a second civil war, one side has half a billion guns and the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use. It is pretty funny and it is also true but then again it misses something I try to emphasize:

A noodle-arm, limp-dick fag with a septum ring can still kill you dead as a doornail using a crappy SCCY with pink grips.

The times they are a’changin’ and the Left, once proudly anti-gun, has been quietly and not so quietly arming and training for the last decade, accelerating once Trump 2.0 happened and especially after Renee Good and Alex Pretti became good communists.

Of course this is not happening organically. Nothing these fruitcakes do is their own idea. Do you think a significant percentage of people in America suddenly decided all on their own that they were “assigned the wrong gender at birth”? Of course not. There is a large online community that is certainly at least somewhat organized and funded, likely by foreign adversaries as well as domestic insurrectionists, that spends all day online using Telegram and Discord and other medium to whisper perversions and hatred into the minds of people that are unmoored from society.

However it is happening, the Left is arming up and embracing a perverted interpretation of the 2nd Amendment that only applies to socialists engaged in the class struggle to defend marginalized communities or some similar bullshit.

The same media that hates you and thinks you should be disarmed because you don’t want your family robbed, raped or killed by some feral thugs is giddy over the idea of communists arming themselves.

I’ve been issuing this same cautionary bulletin for years now, pretty much ever since I read my first MSM article beatifying the Pink Pistols (motto: “Armed gays don’t get bashed”). None of us ought ever to make the potentially fatal mistake of assuming that just because they look and act like whiny, emasculated pusscakes, they aren’t also deadly serious, and altogether dangerous. Unhinged whackjobs brandishing rifles, pistols, knives, and clubs should always be kept well away from, even if it means crossing the street so as to avoid getting within CQB range of them.

No big deal, just the SOS

Surprised? Don’t be.

ISIS Issues a Call to Murder Tommy Robinson, But the Warning UK Cops Give Him Is Much Worse
The patriotic British activist Tommy Robinson revealed on Friday morning that he is “a priority target for ISIS!!!” He added: “I have now left the country, I need time to work things out for my safety and the safety of my family. I will probably have to relocate them. I will update you when I can.”

The news came in the form of a phone call from the Bedfordshire Police. A police officer told Robinson “we have seen intelligence that an ISIS publication has [been]… encouraging others to commit violence against yourself.” He went on to explain that this publication was called Yalgaar, and that the information he was giving Robinson “has come from our counter terrorists.”

When Robinson asked, however, if he could get a copy of this publication, the police officer said “Unfortunately not.” Robinson then asked if he went online and downloaded a copy, “Would that be a terrorist offense?” The officer replied: “I think it would be.”

The officer then said that he wanted to “remind” Robinson that “because of this information, it doesn’t authorize you to carry weapons, anything like that, take any pre-emptive action against others.” Robinson asked: “So I’m named in an ISIS manual to be targeted by ISIS terrorists, but I cannot have anything to protect myself.” The officer made clear that this was indeed the case.

This is a remarkable phone call, but utterly unsurprising. For years now, British authorities have acted as if Tommy Robinson were public enemy number one. As he stood against the migrant invasion that threatens to end Britain as a free society (as well as replace the native British people with foreigners who have no historical connection to the land) and spoke out honestly regarding Muslim rape gang activity and other issues that those authorities have shown themselves afraid to confront, he has revealed to the entire world the suicidal pusillanimity and cowardice of the British intelligentsia.

And so instead of offering special protection to Robinson in light of this Islamic State threat, as Salman Rushdie, Geert Wilders, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and many others have received after threats from other jihadis, the police officer who contacted him only warned him not to carry any weapons. It is an extremely odd thing to tell someone while you’re telling him about a credible death threat against him, unless, of course, the British authorities want Robinson dead as much as ISIS does.

The contemptible Brit “authorities” were making a statement (not merely to Robinson but to the entire world) about what is of primary importance to them: not that the filthy, primordial Muzzrats were gunning for Robinson, but that in the UK the right to defend oneself (responsibility, more like, or so I believe) no longer exists, assuming it ever did. Likewise, they wished to remind one and all that the disgraceful, spineless “authorities” do not intend to protect subjects of the badly tarnished Crown from the depredations of these scrofulous animals. They cared for nothing apart from getting this point across, be assured. Bottom line? Just this: hapless Brits don’t have to like it; they have to shut up and take it, that’s what.

And with that, I can’t imagine that I’m gonna have a whole lot more to say around here about the suicide of Once-Great, Now-Pathetic Britain. They are what they are, we all KNOW what they are, and it’s not going to change. Britain is now just another Moslem shitrapy, entirely and exclusively because the British people sat on their asses and allowed it to happen. Instead of getting themselves all het up over the admittedly sorry situation Over There, Real Americans must now focus their attention on seeing to it that it doesn’t happen here, before it’s too late. We’re much too far along that dismal road already.

If Tommy Robinson has half a brain in his head, and I very much hope he does, he and his loved ones will never set foot on British soil again, not for any reason whatever. Every true patriot feels a strong pull towards the land of his birth and his countrymen, of course, but the sad fact is that there’s not a damned thing he or anybody else can do to rescue the benighted UK now. Like Elvis, it’s gone and cannot be brought back.

Update! Not much reason for me to keep elevating my blood pressure with this kind of crap when Mark Steyn covers it so adroitly.

Rupert Lowe is doing a magnificent job with his “rape gang inquiry” – and, as I said a few days ago, it does my heart good to see our friend Sammy Woodhouse up there seated alongside him – as opposed to the last “inquiry” where the Government’s plan was to have Sammy seated next to Rotherham bi-guy rapist Lord Ahmed. That’s right: pre-Rupert Lowe, they were putting the rapists on the investigatory panels. I was going to call Lord Ahmed “Labour’s paedo peer”, but I realised that that doesn’t narrow it down much: see Sir Keir’s furious face at PMQs after Mrs Badenoch accused him of leading a ministry of “paedophile-apologists”.

Another aspect that has emerged in recent days is the complicity of Islamic women in the activities of their menfolk. As I gradually realised a decade ago, they are almost all aware that every chap in their household is participating in the gang-rape of certain white working-class girls – and they’re cool with that. After all, if you have to live among the hideous painted strumpets of the infidel, the girls might as well be put to use. So from The Daily Mail:

Labour mayor is found guilty of helping hide her son’s phone after he raped a 15-year-old girl

I had initially assumed, following the mayor’s tearful plea in court that a “mother’s love” had clouded her judgment, that the rapist was seventeen, nineteen or some such. In fact, as you can see from the photograph above, the kid was forty-one. At the time, he was serving, officially, as “Consort” to the Mayor. That’s some bollocks-type title equivalent to the use of “First Lady” in America, which is likewise bollocks and which I have never liked. But apparently “Consort” is its British and non-binary equivalent and, as our illustration makes plain, comes with its own impressive chain of “office”.

And in Berkshire, Diwan Khan, Consort to the Mayor of Bracknell Forest, while in-between municipal functions, enjoyed slipping drugs into the drinks of minors and then raping them. His fifteen-year-old victim woke up naked on the back seat of his car and wondered what had happened. So the Consort to the Mayor used one hand to choke her and the other to hold up his telephone and show her the video he’d taken of their romantic interlude. This is also a very Paki thing: most rapists are a little sheepish about evidence of their brutality. But, in the vibrant diversity of England, the thugs who violate your daughters like to make souvenir movies they can show to their friends, brothers, fathers, grandfathers, etc.

Do they also show them to Mum? When the police knocked on the door of Mayor Naheed Ejaz, she waited a minute-and-a-half before responding. She used that time to order her son – in Urdu, so the coppers could not understand – to hide his mobile.

Because she knew what Muslim men keep on their telephones.

She knew what the police would see if they found it – and apparently she could not be as sure of the indifference of Thames Valley Police as Mancunians, Yorkshiremen and Shropshire lads are of the indifference of the Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire and West Mercia constabularies. When the coppers had been admitted, both mother and son continued to speak in Urdu, avoiding the word “phone”, which is the same in both languages. So on bodycam video Diwan can be heard referring only to “the big bell”, to which the Mayor replies, “Keep quiet. I know.” The mobile has never been found.

Tellingly, Naheed Ejaz owned, and Diwan Khan drove for, a family taxi firm – because cabs are also central to control of the municipal rape-gang business. The Mayor has now been convicted of perverting the course of justice. But the family are old hands at perverting in a more general sense.

Post-Immivasion Britain has become so warped, so depraved, so mind-bogglingly decayed and distorted that it truly beggars belief. Winston Churchill wouldn’t recognize the place, and would surely be sickened unto death at seeing how very far the homeland he once cherished has fallen…as all decent, honorable people should be.

Pet peeve(s)

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.

No, daddy, NO!

Not the genital cuffs AGAIN!

RE: Vance Getting Booed at the Winter Olympics

So a bunch of Eurotards from Europe’s fashion capital booed our Vice President and Second Lady at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony.

Democrats, of course, are thrilled by this because they too hate America. I, of course, could not care less.

But let me tell you what is really going on.

The USA is Europe’s Daddy, and has been for 80 years. Europe is the stumblebum adult male child in his 30s living on Daddy’s couch. He can’t hold a job, all of his relationships are disasters and he depends on Daddy for all sustenance and protection.

One day Daddy gets fed up with Sonny’s unwillingness to pay his own way. Daddy is also pissed because Sonny does not support free speech or free markets, and because Sonny fails to protect himself from Muslims who beat him up in the street daily. Daddy finally says:

“ENOUGH! You are on your own. Get out of my house. No, I will NOT lend you more money.”

So Sonny has to finally stand on his own two feet and he resents it. So the next time Sonny sees Daddy, he boos him.

That’s what happened in Milan.

It’s always about envy, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy with these delinquent brats.

The 2020 “(s)election”: most fraudulent in world history?

Actually, it was so damned fraudulent there isn’t even a word in the English language—corrupt, crooked, fake, phony, bogus, bent, rigged, &c—strong enough to adequately describe how ridiculously fraudulent it was.

Providence has a nice sense of irony. Had Trump been president from 2021 to 2024, he could not have accomplished a scintilla of what he has already managed just a year into his second term. The four years he spent as a victim of the Biden administration’s round-the-clock deployment of lawfare – the preposterous indictments, the naked efforts to bankrupt and incarcerate him – all were “teachable moments” he would have missed had he not been made the focus of unhinged Democratic ire. I suspect that, when the dust settles, it will be shown that Trump did, in fact, win the 2020 election. But it is a good thing for the country that he had to wait four years before he took office.

To those who are impatient with this renewed attention to the 2020 election, I advert to the ending of my column here from November 5, 2025. Quoting the commentator Shipwreckedcrew, who posts on X and Substack under that username, I agreed that “the 47th President of the United States, now that he has the tools, has an obligation to examine the 2020 election with the Department of Justice if he concludes that the 46th President failed to do so out of the 46th President’s self-interest to not have his victory called into question.”

Trump, I noted, has so concluded. We are rapidly approaching the denouement of this drama.

Readers may also recall the scene from Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises in which one character asks another how he went bankrupt. “Two ways,” was the answer. “Gradually, then suddenly.” I suspect that something similar is happening here.

A few days ago, the news from Fulton County was everywhere, but there was a certain nervousness or hesitation in the air. Hadn’t we already been here, done that? But then the floodgates started to open.

Why have Georgia election officials filed a court motion to take back the ballots seized by the FBI? No one wants to be called a “conspiracy theorist” or “election denier.” No one wants to be sued for libel, as was Rudy Giuliani. He raised questions about the election results in Georgia. He named names. That cost him $140-something million. I wonder whether that judgment will be revisited now?

Commenting on the tsunami of news crashing out from Georgia, the great Cleta Mitchell, who advised President Trump when he contested the Georgia election results, noted that on the morning of election day, November 4, 2020, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Trump led by 103K votes with only 94K ballots left. “Four days later,” Mitchell noted:

[T]here were 300K more ballots, including 148K absentee ballots from Fulton County. That’s 25,535 more ballots than voters, more than double Biden’s margin. Over 133K ballot images were deleted. Zero of 148 Fulton County tabulators had the required tapes. Nearly 7K fictitious ballots remain certified, and no one investigated.

Then there is the news about Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. Grand jury testimony that was just unsealed revealed that Kemp told the chief of Georgia Bureau of Investigation not to investigation allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, Saying he was a “team player,” the official dropped the case.

The mask is being ripped off as I write. A Gestalt shift in The Narrative is underway. Wikipedia says that Cleta Mitchell “aided Donald Trump in his efforts to overturn the election results and pressure election officials to ‘find’ sufficient votes for him to win.” How long will it be before the site is forced to note instead that she aided the president in his efforts to get to the truth in Fulton County? What happened in Georgia is just one falling domino in the giant reversal that is taking place. A lot of reputedly “impossible” things are in the process of being revealed.

Yep, the formerly ubiquitous “Trump’s baseless charges” bleat is looking more and more like the absurd lie it always was, as time marches ever on. Unfortunately, the truth outing at last will be the only positive result; you can be absolutely certain that not one thing else will change a single iota, that after many encore performances, The Enemy (both Left and “Right”) will at last outdo even their 2020 “(s)election” dumbshow for sheer balls-out chutzpah.

Ever-shifting shitib opinions, values, and mores

A pair of half-assed, half-baked Leftard bullshit artists, these two. Remember back when Mittens Romneycare was himself a demonic Hitlerite spawned in the hottest pits of Hell, anyone? Nah, me neither.

Mitt Romney is owed an apology for how he was attacked in 2012. He’s unlikely to get it
“Romney didn’t win, did he?”

That was former Senate Democratic majority leader Harry Reid’s response to whether he regretted lying about then-GOP presidential nominee — and now Utah senator — Mitt Romney.

Reid accused Romney on the Senate floor in 2012, when he was running for president, of not having paid any taxes in four years. It was absolutely untrue and was discredited by Washington Post fact-checkers and others at the time. But that didn’t stop the onslaught of unfair and inaccurate accusations and innuendos.

The Mitt Romney who ran for president in 2012 went on to vote for conviction in President Trump’s impeachment trial. And that same Romney became the first known Republican senator to march with the George Floyd protesters over the weekend.

You remember 2012, right? That was the year of the last presidential election before Donald Trump’s victory. And the way liberals attacked Romney’s presidential campaign on opinion pages of newspapers, news broadcasts and in the media echo chamber of blue check-mark Twitter, has a lot to do with how the next election went — and how this one will go. Their treatment of Romney was an inflection point for many on the right.

It’s straight out of the Left/lib/Progtard playbook: any and everyone not a flaming, Red-in-tooth-and-claw Leftist who dares to run for office against a sheep-dipped Woketer revolutionary will be duly vilified, defamed, and slandered outrageously right up until the next cloven-hoofed GOPe “rising star” emerges, at which juncture the previous Two Minutes’ Hate target will be miraculously rehabilitated as perhaps misguided, but in the main a decent, fair-minded centrist.

Who ever said crime doesn’t pay?

Couldn’t prove it by übercorrupt ProPol Faux Jaux Bribem, that’s for sure.

Biden’s ‘extravagant’ pension is largest of any president in history – and even more than what he earned as prez
Former President Joe Biden’s long career in politics allowed him to retire with the largest taxpayer-funded pension of any ex-prez in US history — $417,000, or more than his presidential salary, an expert says.

Biden, 83, was in line to rake in the massive amount from two pension funds in his first year as former president, according to an analysis by National Taxpayer Union Foundation Vice President Demian Brady.

“It’s pretty unusual, historically unusual, to have such a large pension amount,” Brady told The Post.

The hefty estimated annual sum is double what Biden’s former boss, Barack Obama, has received in retirement pay after leaving the White House and $17,000 more than Biden’s $400,000-per-year presidential salary.

It also reflects Biden’s “unique situation” as a former senator, vice president and president, a career path that has allowed him to take advantage of a “loophole” letting him tap into multiple taxpayer-backed retirement funds, Brady said.

Biden, who once described himself as “one of the poorest members” of Congress, is able to collect the lucrative payouts by double-dipping in benefits established under the Former Presidents Act of 1958 as well as the Civil Service Retirement System for ex-senators.

Fucking crook. What a scumbag, eh? Far from being a lucrative career choice, being a ProPol ought to be legally sanctioned as a Federal felony, punishable by firing squad. There really should be a bounty on the shit-slurping oxygen thieves; in a more perfect world, they’d be hunted for sport, the pelts redeemable at any local bank for your choice of a toaster oven, a handsome Atlanta Braves baseball cap, or These Magic Beans™.

Not Too Old Jaux though, right? I must say he was worth every penny, if only for the entertainment value: hilarious pratfalls, incoherent mumbling, and losing control of his bowels during a grip-n-grin with British royalty.

Q&A

The “Q” I’ll put in boldface, in the excerpt; the “A” will follow.

Mamdani-Backed Socialist Trashes July 4, Says Independence Day ‘Means Nothing’
A New York State Assembly candidate who carries the official stamp of approval from Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America is facing heavy criticism after comments resurfaced in which she trashed the Fourth of July and other American holidays. How much more do the people of New York need to see to understand that the far left hates them and the country, values, and way of life they take for granted on a daily basis?

A: A gargantuan majority of NYC dwellers being dyed-in-the-wool Leftards themselves, they not only know already, they also agree a billion kajillion zillion percent with the expressed sentiments which the PJM scribe finds so abysmally shocking. NYC has been one of the principal havens for Goosesteppin’ Leftists and their demented ideology since the 60s at least, if not well before, and it isn’t remotely likely that that will be changing anytime soon, if ever. See also Shitcago, San Fransicko, El Lay, Ausgrim, Seassole, et al.

It’s an urban thang, see; you hicks from the sticks wouldn’t understand, and shouldn’t even try lest you embarrass yourselves horribly.

All this squawk-squawk here lately about Moslem rapefugees failing to adjust and acclimate themselves to the culture they’re overrunning, when practically every lackwit Progressivist baglapper infesting Western Civ is in even worse need of a healthy dose of assimilation their own foul selves.

Ooooh goody, ANOTHER layer of FederalGovCo “oversight,”  interference, and impermeably murky bureaucracy.

‘Preservation’ Maneuver by Jamie Raskin Confirms the White House Ballroom Project Has Broken Him
Even if one gave Democrats a fraction of the benefit of the doubt (which we won’t) over their various grievances with President Trump’s America First agenda, the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the ballroom project currently underway at the White House has added a whole new layer of unhinginess to the mix.

This is despite the fact that White House renovations have been undertaken by presidents from both political parties throughout our country’s history, including under both the Obama and Biden administrations.

There have been two lawsuits filed so far over the demolition of the East Wing, one that was filed by a Virginia couple in October but which was voluntarily dismissed, and a more recent one from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which suffered a setback Tuesday when a federal judge denied them the temporary restraining order they sought to halt below-ground construction as the case proceeds through the courts, as we previously reported.

Meanwhile, Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-08) announced legislation on Tuesday that effectively confirms that both Trump and the ballroom have broken him:

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland plans to introduce legislation Tuesday that would subject White House renovations like President Trump’s ballroom project to the same reviews as other federal projects. Currently, the White House is exempt from certain oversight under the National Historic Preservation Act.

Raskin’s bill, called the “People’s White House Historic Preservation Act,” would require White House renovations to undergo a so-called “Section 106 review,” a pre-ground breaking assessment that addresses the impact of renovations on historic buildings and allows the public to weigh in.

“It’s kings who treat public property as private property,” Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, told CBS News in a phone interview. “It’s not his house; it’s our house. And if there is going to be construction and renovation expansion or changes, that should go through a regular public process.”

Gee, quelle surprise: as ever, the only cure for purely partisan D卐M☭CRAT disgruntlement is bigger government, more legislation, and another ream or two of mandatory paperwork to be filled out, turned in, checked for proper compliance with all applicable requirements, standards, and procedures, filed, and forgotten.

Myself, I’d like to take this opportunity to commend to y’all’s attention the pungent, clear-eyed analysis proferred by Luke Yarwood mentioned earlier here: “Violence and murder is the only way now. Start off burning every migrant hotel then head off to MP houses in Parliament. We need to take over by force.” Amen to all that, friend.

Denounce Yarwood’s words as nasty, intemperate, extreme, and/or unacceptable if you like; genuflect before the brazen idols of the Wokester/Leftist temple; proclaim your fealty to the PC Leviathan—the man also happens to be right, and we all know he is. Those of us who are presently just too enlightened and overrefined to hear such strong, no-bull language without either holding their noses in mortified revulsion or just collapsing in a dead faint will be singing a very different tune when the Dismal Tide has finally inundated their AO, I’d bet.

Update! Via Ed, just another case in point re the unalterable mindset of these grabby, self-important dullards.


Catch that operative word, did ya? Unregulated. Quelle horreur! Can’t be having that, now can we, Bernadovitch?

Some things never change

England: still a godawful tyranny, just like in the days of our Founding Fathers.

UK Imprisons Man for 17 Days — for Each X View of His ‘Hate’ Speech
British authorities sentenced a Dorset man to 18 months in jail for inciting hate and violence on X in the heated aftermath of the 2024 Southport stabbings that left three children dead and another 10 people injured.

Luke Yarwood’s posts were viewed a total of 33 times before being taken down. If I’ve done my math correctly, that’s nearly 17 days of jail time per view. If I know anything about people, half of those views were Yarwood checking his mentions.

There’s no denying the nasty nature of Yarwood’s posts, sent to X before the identity of the killer — 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana — was known, but was widely misreported to have been a Muslim immigrant. Rudakubana was born in Cardiff, but his parents were evangelical immigrants from Rwanda.

Yarwood’s posts called for “slaughter in the streets” of Muslims and encouraged people to “Head for the hotels housing them and burn them to the ground.”

“Violence and murder is the only way now. Start off burning every migrant hotel then head off to MP houses in Parliament. We need to take over by force,” he wrote.

Even a veteran of intemperate tweets like myself would never post anything like Yarwood did, but still, 33 views? This guy barely incited more racial hatred than Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh in all three Lethal Weapon movies combined. See, that’s funny because one is black and the other is white and they’re basically family and race hardly comes up. I miss movies like those.

Judge Jonathan Fuller said Yarwood had a “preoccupation with immigrants” and an “obsession with Islam,” alongside “extremely right-wing views.”

And now he has almost 17 days of jail time for each time those views were seen by the public.

Message sent and received, five by five.

Indeed so. How typical of all tyrannies, that their hypersensitivity to any and all opposition should blind them to the very real catastrophe they’ve inflicted on themselves.

It doesn’t make a blind bit of difference what or whom Yarwood is or is not “obsessed with,” his God-given right to inveigh against what his lords and masters have brought down on British heads unasked for is absolute. Bitch as I do about what dire shape the FUSA is in these days, I can still be thankful that our Founders—those incomparable 18th-century titans, every one of them—were bold enough, brave enough, and foresighted enough to perceive what the future held in store for the pitiable subjects of His Royal Majesty’s goobermint, and to decide that they wanted no part of it.

Escalation

Ahh, le mot juste.


Encore, mes amis.

Pentagon Escalates Investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly for ‘Serious Allegations of Misconduct’
The Department of War (DOW) is escalating its review of Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), a retired Navy captain, to an official command investigation into his participation in a video dubbed “seditious” by President Donald Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth called the video “despicable, reckless, and false,” calling Kelly, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Jason Crow (D-CO) the “Seditious Six” in a social media post:

While four of the other participants in the video are former military, Hegseth explained that they are not “retired” so they “are no longer subject” to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

“However, Mark Kelly (retired Navy Commander) is still subject to UCMJ — and he knows that,” the secretary stated. “As was announced, the Department is reviewing his statements and actions, which were addressed directly to all troops while explicitly using his rank and service affiliation — lending the appearance of authority to his words. Kelly’s conduct brings discredit upon the armed forces and will be addressed appropriately.”

The investigation could result in further actions, including recalling Kelly to active duty status to initiate “court-martial proceedings or administrative measures,” the DOW said.

Do it. Slap the half-bright boob so hard when he stops rolling, his clothes will be out of style. Y’know, pour encourager les autres.

Civics primer

A civics lesson in movie-review mufti.

Constitutional purists, in the main, adhere to the judicial philosophy of ‘originalism.’ That is, they do not believe the Constitution and its Amendments are evolving or subject to change in meaning based on the mood of the times. They try to understand the contemporaneous intent of the words by those who wrote them.

Those of us of a certain age will likely think this just too durned obvious for words, while for most of you young whelps out there it will probably come as real news.

Another civics lesson, complete with obligatory CF-style digression, that’s been languishing in the “Local Drafts” folder for a goodish while now, presented in full below the fold.

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

Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums

FREEDOM!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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