Ever-shifting shitib opinions, values, and mores

Jim Acosta: “[JD Vance is] the future of MAGA. It is a — a — it is a fascist, authoritarian, white nationalist MAGA.”

Jennifer Welch: “It’s worse than Trump.”

Acosta: “It is worse than Trump.”

Welch: “He’s worse.”

Acosta: “It’s Trump with staying power. You know, Trump, the other day is, you know, he’s — he’s — he’s asking, am I gonna go to heaven? Am I gonna go to heaven?”

Welch: “Yeah.”

Acosta: “It must be dawning on him that the sand in — in Dorothy’s hourglass is running out, you know, in the Wizard of Oz.”

Welch: “The curtains are closing.”

Acosta: “The curtains are closing. JD Vance doesn’t have to worry about that. This whole crew of guys who are going to try to come in after it, they’re — they’re not worried about that. The American people have to show that movement the door. I’m not talking about — Republican presidents want to come in, and act like Mitt Romney and — and — and folks like that —”

Welch: “Right.”

Acosta: “— everybody can deal with that. Everybody can stomach that. If — if Mitt Romney had been president instead of Donald Trump in 2016, you and I probably wouldn’t be talking right now —”

Welch: “That’s right.”

Acosta: “— because you — you know, Jen, you’d be down in Oklahoma enjoying your life”

Welch: “Instead of doing interior design, yeah.”

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.

Broken

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.

A Thanksgiving to remember

Poor guy won’t be forgetting THIS one anytime soon.

On a day to give thanks for all the blessings of America, it fell to Gary Beckstrom to announce to the world the death of his twenty-year-old daughter, Sarah. That will taint Thanksgiving every year for the rest of Mr Beckstrom’s life – in part because his child’s blood is on the hands not just of her killer but of the public policy that enabled the murderer to be on the streets of what passes for the national capital. Thanks, America!

The Democrats are in favour of admitting the killer of the next Sarah Beckstrom, and non-Trump Republicans are happy to string along. Here is the famously rock-ribbed “conservative” Bill Kristol, a few weeks after the fall of Kabul:

Follows, a particularly obnoxious Tweet/X from the loathsome Kristol asserting, to wit:


Is Mr Steyn done, you ask? No, Mr Steyn most certainly is NOT done; in fact, Mr Steyn is just getting started.

Mr Kristol was the most prominent cheerleader for the two-decade unwon wars that made the supposed hyperpower a global laughingstock. After spending so long urging Americans to die for Jalalabad, he should surely have picked up along the way an actual fact or two about the joint. Otherwise, he risks appearing a shallow, parochial bleepwit whose “Project for the New American Century” looks more like a Project for a No American Century.

Facts? For starters, as I wrote in The National Post of Canada twenty-four sodding years ago, in Afghanistan it is forbidden by law for women to feel sunlight on their faces. Perhaps Bill Kristol could impose similar strictures on his own womenfolk and let us know how it goes.

To take him more seriously than he deserves, presumably Kristol believes that Charlie Kirk’s claims to Americanness rest on outmoded concepts such as being born in America to American parents and being raised in American institutions such as the Presbyterian Church and the Boy Scouts. Whereas to the Wanker Right America is nothing so vulgar and restrictive but is instead an “idea”, whereby simply by getting off the boat at Ellis Island and setting foot on American soil one imbibes the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of nine-year-old child brides from the next village. Whoops, sorry, I mean the pursuit of happiness.

Had it right the first time, Mark, but what the hey.

Loads more to this one yet, of which you should definitely read the all, it being Steyn and all. For my own part, I’d like to ask a question if I may: Has there ever, in all of recorded history, been any other single person who has been so spectacularly wrong so many times as Bill Effing Kristol? Take your time with that answer, gang, no rush. Really, when you get right down to it, this could well be another instance of the type of question which, as they say, to ask is to answer.

Beware of shitlibs crying “Nuremberg v2.0!”

Via Driscoll, a useful albeit sobering reminder.


“Show more,” I defy thee!

Nuremberg followed the total military defeat of the Nazi regime.

It didn’t appear out of political frustration or anger or internet righteousness. It came after unconditional surrender and the collapse of a government through war.

So when people on social media speak openly of “Nuremberg 2.0” for their political opponents, they’re telling you something dangerous.

They believe they’re in a war, not a democracy. And in war, they think they’re entitled to hang the losers.

Remember this for anyone slinging around “Nuremberg”. It’s reckless.

Remember indeed. Above all else, remember too that they are in no way kidding around, exaggerating for effect, or hyperbolizing when they say such things, and that their belief in their own moral and intellectual superiority is absolute, inarguable, and as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. Also, they believe not just that they’re in a war, but that they will inevitably prevail, after which smashing victory they will grind the enemy under their jackbooted heel forever.

Conduct unbecoming

A disgrace to. the uniform. a blight on the escutcheon of the US Navy, an outrageous affront to the very concept of military service.


Having met this man and spent a cpl-three hours hanging out with him years ago at NAS Oceana, I hate this has happened, I truly do. That said, though, if Trump and Hegseth don’t go to the last extreme in holding him fully accountable for his manifest sedition, then the word no longer has any meaning whatever, and really ought to be struck from the vocabulary.

Update! Blast it, almost forgot the “Show more…” end-run.

STATEMENT FROM DoW: “The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures.”

As I said: if Kelly’s egregious, inexcusable infraction is allowed to go by unaddressed, then the words “insubordination, “sedition,” and “treason” no longer mean anything at all.

Actually, on reflection, they DO meann something after all, and always will. That present-day “Americans” have elected to submerse themselves so thoroughly in depravity, degeneracy, and dishonor that they now find it expedient to ignore such meaningful words and precepts says much more about them that it does about these once-powerful words…none of it complimentary.

Off with their masks!

Forcibly, violently, and painfully, thanks to the great and powerful Wizard of Oz Musk.

Elon Musk’s zeal for truth reveals the online frauds aiming to divide us
On Friday Elon Musk, having figured out that a lot of influential X accounts weren’t what they claimed to be, activated an X feature showing where users were actually posting from — and uncovered (at least) a million lies.

Turns out a lot of users claiming to be disillusioned Trump voters, or anti-Israel Americans, are actually foreign frauds.

Like the one that posted: “Trump is Israel First. I’m done with MAGA. I hope Republicans lose.”

Americans turning on Trump over Israel?

Nope. The account was based in Turkey.

Likewise the woke-right “groyper” movement supposedly elevating white supremacist Nick Fuentes seems to be largely a foreign sham, and “Ron Smith, MAGA Hunter,” a prolific anti-Trump poster with a substantial following, turns out to be from Kenya.

Many users billing themselves as “Native American” with accounts specializing in divisive racial attacks on white people are actually foreign, and mostly from Bangladesh.

And so on, and so on.

Awful lot of jihadi weird-beards skulking behind those online guises, same-same with the ostensible Paleosimians whining about being the victims of “genocide” in Gaza from their homes in Turkey, Kenya, or Poland. Crack on Netanyahu, Israel, and (((***Dem JooJooJooJOOOOOOZ!!!***))) all you like, but don’t go acting all shocked and butthurt to learn that the people you’re associating yourself with online ain’t necessarily the people you think they are.

Kudos to Elon for yanking the rug right out from under certain unworthy, deceitful frauds, thereby prompting plenty of long-overdue attitude adjustment into the bargain. Kinda pathetic that so many of us so badly needed reminding of the most basic rule of online existence: Nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, is as it seems here. On the Innarnuts you either take absolutely everything with a YUUUGE grain of salt, or you just aint tall enough for this ride yet, kid.

A perfect plan…

…yields perfect results.

Nolte: On This Thanksgiving, Democrats Are Grateful Two National Guardsmen Got Shot by an Afghan ‘Refugee’
The plan the Democrat Party put together years ago just came out perfect: according to various reports, an unvetted Afghan national who overstayed his visa is accused of shooting two members of the National Guard on Thanksgiving Eve in Washington D.C.

Indeed so. In fact, the only glaring flaw I can see in this deal so far is that no one—goat, male child, young non-Moslem woman—appears to have been raped by this Muzzie animal.

Yet, I should probably say. YET.

There’s more to John’s piece still, which I didn’t read on account of it’s too fuckingINFURIATING.

We all know it’s never going to happen, but I’ll say it anyway: every last one of these Muzzrat filthbags—be they Somalis, Saudis, Yemenis, don’t give a whoop in Hell—must be removed from our country and sent the fuck back to wherever they came from. EVERY. LAST. ONE. They have no right to be in this country, dont belong here, and they all must go, the sooner the better.

Update! Prescient, or just self-honest and perceptive enough to be able to make out the obvious despite the shitlib smokescreen?

What Charlie Kirk Said About Biden’s Afghan Refugee Crisis Has New Meaning Today
Of course, the Biden administration assured Americans that every Afghan entering under that program went through strict vetting. Few believed it then, and it certainly rings hollow now; the shooting looks like a direct consequence of the recklessness that defined Biden’s withdrawal.

And Charlie Kirk not only warned us about this, but also believed it was intentional. Back in August of 2021, Kirk saw the chaos as a political strategy wrapped in humanitarian messaging.

While the Biden White House worked to paint the evacuation as compassionate, Kirk saw deeper motives. He connected the rushed inflow of evacuees to the broader political ambitions of the Biden administration.

Kirk wanted listeners to understand the deeper strategy. It wasn’t about humanitarian aid. It wasn’t about repairing a crisis. It was about importing a new electorate. He held nothing back. “What’s going on here is Joe Biden wants a couple hundred thousand more Ilhan Omars to come into America to change the body politic permanently,” he continued.

Sadly, it was worse than that. The Biden administration failed to properly vet people and inevitably let in people who wished to do harm to the country.

Well, of COURSE he did. Why on Earth wouldn’t he, after all? “Doing harm to the country” is ultimately what Bribem and every other Dem/Leftist/shitlib are really all about, whatever their “moderate” spokescreatures might claim to the contrary.

Still think you can be friends with these asswipes?

Or for that matter, live peaceably alongside them? Really, why would you even want to?

“Racially aggravated graffiti,” no less. “Takes aim at people of color,” sez they. Shitlibs can discern all that double-plus-ungood Badthink from a decidedly mild, innocuous message announcing simply that “it’s okay to be White,” nothing whatsoever more? No “hate,” no derogation, no insult, no extremist cant, no threats of any kind either expressed or implied in said message. Not anything obnoxious along the lines of “Whites rule!” or “I’m so glad I’m White!” or “Black Power, White control!” Just that mild-mannered, meek, unassuming “It’s okay…” assertion.

If the hysterical, unhinged reaction to this bland, sotto voce announcement is any indication, we must assume that no, it is definitely NOT “okay to be white” after all.

It must be acknowledged by Our Side, while we’re still allowed to take note of such preposterous rubbish without being packed off to Summer Reeducation Camp without the option: the problem for Progressivists here is entirely and exclusively with the extremely dangerous notion that some melanin-challenged Pyrrsynnnz Of Whiteness might NOT feel properly ashamed, fearful, and inferior because they are in fact Caucasian/WASP/Anglo-Saxon, thereby perpetuating the countless enormities, crimes, and heartless, savage rape of the planet, the climate, the planetary atmosphere. and every living thing on, in, and/or over it committed by the White Race—a brutish Race spawned by demons, raised by fiends, released from Hell by Satan Himself to go forth and wreak bloody havoc on all that was once fair, pure, and worthwhile in this weary world.

Unique among all Earthly beings, the White Race chose to live not by the creed of empathy, self-effacement, sustainability, and reverence for Nature, but to instead hew to greed, unreflective hatred and bigotry, callow materialism, and conquest. Unlike more enlightened, well-adjusted Progressivists who regard our Good Earth not as mere property to be exploited by those possessed of the will, the brawn, and the audacity to make a proper job of it, but as the gentle, loving, benevolent Mother Of Us All which Humanity is charged with caring for, tending, and adoring. The Earth, being the home of every man, beast, plant, and mineral, must NEVER be taken for granted, abused, stripped bare and cast aside, but nurtured, praised, even worshipped as a God(ess), She from whom all blessings flow©.

Contra the foolishly humanocentric belief commonly held in antiquity that our planet is sturdy, strong, capable of endlessly replenishing, rejuvenating, and healing itself of all wounds, Progressivists know that the Earth is actually quite fragile, its processes so precisely balanced and finely-tuned that the whole shebang could be brought crashing down by nothing more extraordinary than the breath of a tiny hummingbird which exhales in the wrong place at the wrong moment. In fact, so delicate is Mother Earth that She could all too easily be broken completely and for all time by conniving industrialists, unthinking outdoorsmen, and the ugly, noisy mechanical contraptions belching out smoke, toxins, and non-biodegradable waste by-products with which White people have, since time immemorial, been blighting the landscape from horizon to horizon in the name of convenience, efficiency, their own amusement, or for no better reason than that they felt like it.

The White Man: builder of factories; railroads, cities, and suburbs; inventor of the machine gun, the bayonet, and the guillotine; practitioner of chattel slavery, trench warfare, and strategic bombing. Sexually repressed, morally vapid, intellectually stunted. Burner of books, witches, forests, and fossil fuels. He is a seriously, SERIOUSLY bad dancer. He viscerally abhors indolence; iconoclasm; rebels whether with or without a cause; food with actual, noticeable flavor, texture, seasoning, and aroma. His literature is uninteresting, his art imitative, his music (if any) dull, lifeless, eminently forgettable.

The White Man will never, ever make a scene, call undue attention to himself, act up in public, raise a ruckus, send a badly-prepared entree back to the kitchen to be either corrected or replaced altogether.

White People gave the world the curfew, social distancing, the HOA, polyester, stagflation, Hacky Sack, and the Man Bun. Uptight, thy name might be Whitey.

“We messed up”

Cracker Barrel execs play the Contrition card. But might there be more to all this than meets the eye?

Few stories grabbed national attention quite like the Cracker Barrel rebrand did this year. Even amid endless high-profile developments in Washington, the Cracker Barrel rebrand stood out as offensive to Americans everywhere.

Like Bud Light’s partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, Cracker Barrel’s new look felt like an attack on an American institution from an out-of-touch C-suite that bought into the leftist idea of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The backlash was so severe that the company publicly slammed the brakes on their modern makeover and promised Americans they weren’t changing a thing.

Despite this course correction, it was clear that someone at the top had lost the plot, and when Cracker Barrel shareholders voted for board nominees, DEI consultant Gilbert Dávila was not one of them. As I reported on Thursday, Dávila resigned from his position.

Nice that the clueless Wokester shit-slurper is gone and all, but come ON now: the Executive Suite screws the pooch this badly, and all the CB brain-trust can manage is to dump one lousy consultant over it? Looks like the ol’ Barrel is still et up with the dumbass at the higher levels.

That said, here’s where things start to smell a little funny.

Now, Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino, who survived the shareholder vote, is sitting down for interviews, and her first is with Glenn Beck.

In an interview that took place at a Cracker Barrel location, Beck asked them directly what happened to lead them to such a “stupid” decision, comparing it to Coca-Cola’s “new recipe.”

“Our guests have a right to be upset,” Masino told Beck. “We messed up. The intent was not ideological. It was not to put the old version of Cracker Barrel in a box. It was not the intent whatsoever.”

Later, Beck went on to ask if the company had “embraced DEI as a culture.” Masino, seemingly giving the most sterile answer she could, told Beck that Cracker Barrel has always tried to be a welcoming place for everyone. Thankfully, Beck pressed the question by asking if political statements were intended from the rebrand.

“No, it’s pancakes,” said Masino.

I find it very interesting that the conversation was steered into what Cracker Barrel was doing wrong in terms of their food and service by Doug Hisel, the Senior Vice President, who also took part in the interview.

Which jibes rather nicely with all the other stuff I’ve read saying that Cracker Barrel was hemorrhaging customers, employees, and money thanks to ever-crappier food, unclean restaurants, insolent, glacier-slow service, etc well before the ill-considered rebrand ever happened. Which kinda tells me that CB high muckety-mucks have had nothing but disdain, dislike, and outright animosity for their most diehard, core customers for a goodish while now, and almost certainly still feel the same way. Which, in turn, means that Cracker Barrel’s troubles and woe aren’t by any stretch over yet.

If Masino is telling the truth, and this rebrand wasn’t at all DEI-driven, then it was incredibly short-sighted at best. However, it’s pretty clear that Cracker Barrel was involved in DEI-related activities and was becoming increasingly friendly with leftist causes. As Fox News reported through an interview with Robby Starbuck, the restaurant chain kept adopting more and more LGBTQ+ themes…

And now, we come to the main reason I wanted to post on this in the first dang place. Ready, everybody?

Starbuck highlights Cracker Barrel’s support for LGBTQ+ organizations and events, such as Nashville Pride, River City Pride and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).

He also noted that the company displayed rocking chairs with rainbow colors and LGBTQ+ insignia. The company even went so far as to place one in its Tennessee corporate office. Rocking chairs are practically synonymous with Cracker Barrel, with the restaurant’s long porches lined with them at locations nationwide.

“The fact that it’s located there is important to this story because what’s happened here is a microcosm of the parasitic operating procedure of left-wing activists,” Starbuck said. “They don’t just wanna force their soulless, godless, hedonistic vision of the future onto blue hellscapes that their party controls.

“No, it’s much more important to them that they shove it down into your towns, into your kids’ schools and into your way of life. So, sticking a pro-trans rocking chair into their headquarters in a predominantly conservative town is exactly the type of thing they revel in doing.”

Oh, HELL yeah—nice rip, Rob. Bold mine, natch, because that shit just rocks.

Time to start shooting muthafuckiz yet?

I say oh HELLZ muthafuckin’ yeah, but could be that’s just me. I tend to be ornery like that sometimes, see.


Stupid Democreep Congresscritter don’t know fuck-all about the Founding Fathers, the US Constitution, the UCMJ, or actual by-God treason, so probably ought to shut her fat yap about such arcane matters with a quickness, before some more intelligent, less patient type shuts it for her.

Update! Oh crap, forgot my usual “Show more…” end-run. Here t’is:

Oh, lady, many millions of us who’ve actually served and sworn that oath, know both the constitution and the UCMJ intimately. Because we’ve had to decide many thousands of times if we were in accordance with each and both, before we shed blood, our own and others, for and in accordance with both.

As someone whose been in direct combat on behalf of our people in adherence to both the Constitution and the UCMJ. Here’s my rebuttal:

US Constitution on insurrection: Art. I §8 cl.15 empowers Congress to call forth militia to suppress insurrections; Art. III §3 treats levying war (incl. insurrection) as treason; 14th Amend. §3 disqualifies from office any prior oath-taker who thereafter engages in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.

UCMJ: No standalone “insurrection” article, but Art. 94(a)(2) punishes sedition—creating revolt/violence against lawful civil authority with intent to overthrow it—as severely as mutiny (up to death); related charges fall under Arts. 104, 134, or assimilated 18 USC §2383.

And, in my less than polite, yet no less erudite, enlisted man manner and verbiage. Go fuck yourself!

Bang, zoom, you tell ’em EM! Nice work, buddy.

Updated update! More buck-nekkid sedition, incitement to mutiny, and yes, flat-out treason, from you’ll never guess who.

The “resistance” continues against President Donald Trump by the spiritually and morally bankrupt folks who brought you the massacre at Benghazi, the bug out from Afghanistan, attacks on Elon Musk, ICE “protests,” and the disastrous foreign policy from the Joe Biden administration.

This time, these resistors want the U.S. military to disobey all those illegal orders that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Commander in Chief Donald Trump have been issuing, of which there have been exactly zero.

The point, however, is to leave the nagging, unspoken, and unsubstantiated questions lingering in the ether to treat President Trump’s use of the military with disdain and mistrust.

He must be doing something illegal!

By now, you know the ad campaign of which I speak. It’s the commercial made by Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.), Chrissy Houlihan (D-Pa.), and Jake Sullivan’s wife, Maggie Goodlander, a congresslady from New Hampshire.

Hold on. That Jake Sullivan? Hillary Clinton’s sidekick in her Russia collusion fraud? That Jake Sullivan, who covered for Hillary’s use of a personal server on which she conducted state department business? Sullivan was Joe Biden’s National Security aide. That Jake Sullivan, who helped “plan” —to the extent there were any plans — the bug-out from Afghanistan? That guy who was so damnable that President Trump stripped away his security clearance? That guy? Yes, that guy.

Sullivan may not have his security clearance anymore, but that’s not stopping him from fulfilling his job duties at the Harvard Kennedy School as the inaugural Henry “Kissinger Professor of the Practice of Statecraft and World Order.” You can’t make this stuff up.

Happily, as long as we allow D卐M☭CRATs to live and carry on as they do, we won’t ever need to make anything up.

Notable Quotes

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

Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums

FREEDOM!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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