Shut the fucking fuck up, punk-ass.


The rest of the story:

Basin allegedly threatened to shoot the man’s wife and several bystanders.

A local man seen approaching in the background confronted Basin, knocked him out, then calmly told him to stop threatening people.

Police say Basin later pulled a knife and continued threatening people.

When officers arrived, he allegedly threw the knife into the ocean.

The same bystander swam out, recovered the knife, and handed it to police.

Basin was charged with two counts of first-degree terroristic threatening. Bail was set at $1 million.

Police say he has also been arrested in other assault and property-damage cases since May, and several people have obtained temporary restraining orders against him.

Sounds like another successful day connecting with voters on the campaign trail!

Hrm. No “solidarity,” no “solidarity” at all.

Yep, gonna have to rule this uproariously funny clip your Feel-Good Video of the Week.

Update! The cold, implacable reality. Via Ace.


“Show more” workaround:

In this video, I speak to an illegal from Morocco who is getting cash, free healthcare, and more while Spain’s young people continue to not be able to afford homes.

I ask him if I could enter Morocco illegally and he said “no.”

Every illegal migrant I spoke to said they would vote for Sanchez until their death. This was about voting and if you watch the documentary, no other argument can be based in logic.

Nope, it surely cannot.

Remember the petition (I wrote about it here) calling for MammyJammy to be disinvited and disbarred from the 25th anniversary 9/11 memorial ceremonies coming up this September? Actress Patricia Heaton, bless her stout heart, certainly does.

Patricia Heaton Supports Petition to Ban NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani From 9/11 Event: ‘Keep It Going’
A petition to ban New York City Mayor Zohran Mamadani from a 9/11 anniversary ceremony has gained over 40,000 signatures, and it now has at least one celebrity supporter — Patricia Heaton.

On Monday, July 27, the Everybody Loves Raymond alum, 68, reshared a post about the petition via X. “Keep it going New Yorkers,” Heaton wrote.

People were divided in the comment section, with one person advising Heaton to “stay out of politics,” while others supported her stance.

As Globe previously reported, the petition was created on July 9 by Giovanni Galante, who lost his wife in the September 11th attacks.

WhammyBammy really ought to have sense enough to realize, what with his numerous radical Mooselimb buddies, his blatant support of jihad, the vile Paleosimians, and every other Moslem-supremacist cause under the sun, he’d have to have a pair of truly gi-normous brass ones to even dream of showing his face at a place where he so clearly has no business being. Bad enough that he’s been allowed to roost in the lovely and historic Gracie Mansion as mayor—something I still can’t quite get my head around, frankly.

The latest in Ross’s brilliantly conceived, deftly executed “Graphic History” series.

A Day with Young Abraham Lincoln in New Orleans, 1828
Historical Backdrop

In the spring of 1828, a nineteen-year-old Abraham Lincoln was hired by James Gentry, the richest man in Gentryville, Indiana, to help float a cargo of pork, bacon, corn meal, potatoes and flour down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. His partner was Gentry’s son Allen, four years older. Lincoln was paid eight dollars a month and a steamboat ticket home. The boat was a “broadhorn” flatboat — a big unpainted wooden box, roughly sixty-five feet long, steered by a long sweep oar, moving only as fast as the current. Somewhere below Baton Rouge, at a sugar plantation landing, seven men boarded at night intending to rob them; Lincoln fought them off with a hickory club and carried a scar over his right eye for the rest of his life. Then came New Orleans: a city of about 46,000 people, the busiest port in the South. Lincoln had grown up in the backwoods of Indiana. He had never seen anything like it.

That’s merely the beginning; read it all, you’ll be damned glad you did.

An extraordinary man

That would, of course, be Elon Musk.

A SpaceX intern once described eating lunch next to Elon Musk in the company cafeteria.

The intern said Elon sat down at a regular table with a regular tray of food. No entourage. No reserved section. He sat next to two junior engineers who were clearly terrified. One of them was explaining a problem with a valve component to the other.

Elon listened without introducing himself or interrupting. After about three minutes he turned to the engineer and said “have you tried running it at a lower pressure gradient first.” The engineer stared at him. Then realized the CEO of the company had just casually solved a problem his team had been stuck on for a week.

The intern said what happened next was the part that surprised him. Elon didn’t leave. Didn’t check his phone. He spent the next twenty minutes asking the engineers questions about their work. Not CEO questions about timelines and budgets. Engineering questions about fluid dynamics and material stress tolerances. He was genuinely curious. The cafeteria conversation was indistinguishable from a technical review.

The intern said he understood in that moment why people work 80-hour weeks for this man. Not because he’s inspiring. Not because he pays well. Because he’s the only CEO in the world who sits in the cafeteria and solves your engineering problem between bites of a burrito.

People follow leaders who are above them. People worship leaders who sit next to them and prove they understand the work better than the people doing it.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: muchos kudos to the esteemed Mr Musk, for all he is and all he does. We’re fortunate indeed to have him.

Update! Ooops, forgot the X link earlier. Here t’is, with my humble apologies for the oversight.

Updated update! Did I mention Elon’s proven penchant for just telling the plain truth, without fear, favor, or hesitation? Because I really wouldn’t want to leave that bit out.

Search for “traitor” on X this week, and one man will flood your timeline: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

The reason? Shocking images of thousands of migrants from Morocco crossing the border and flooding into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The head of the association that represents Spain’s Civil Guard officers in Ceuta told the Associated Press that the border had “totally collapsed.” After watching video footage of migrants breaking through fences to get into the city, one would be justified in using the word “invasion” to describe what’s happening. Indeed, Santiago Abascal, the leader of the rising populist/conservative Vox party, called it just that and wrote that “Pedro Sánchez is its main promoter and guilty of all its consequences.”

Their gratitude to the Socialist prime minister is due to his mass amnesty plan, which received 1.2 million applications by its June 30, 2026, deadline. As I wrote in So, How’s Spain’s Mass Amnesty Working Out?, “Sánchez, of course, looks at every new immigrant as a potential future voter who won’t care about the mind-boggling corruption within his Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE). As increasing numbers of Spaniards take to the streets to demand the prime minister’s resignation, Muslim migrants are among his most loyal supporters.”

Elon Musk dubbed Sánchez something else: a traitor. After the prime minister defended his amnesty plan in April, Musk wrote on X, “Dirty Sánchez is guilty of high treason.” Sánchez responded cheekily at the time, “Mars can wait. Humanity can’t.”

For certain subspecies of mouth breathing Left-wing fucktards, yeah, that’s clever enough, I suppose.

Deep-fried Fauci

Posted on      by      5 Comments

And here, his troubles began.

Rand Paul Orders Fauci’s Lawyer Removed As Hearing Grows Chaotic
Former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — and apparently, serial perjurer — Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth Amendment and had his lawyer answer for him one too many times during a congressional hearing Wednesday.

Senate Republicans are a lot of talk and no action most of the time. But it is understandable that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) would want to harangue Fauci after the release of Fauci’s journal logs at NIAID during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that Fauci repeatedly lied under oath to Congress. Fauci understands that pretty much anything he admits is incriminating at this point, which is why he kept having his lawyer answer. But a congressional hearing is not the same thing as an ordinary court, and one’s lawyer cannot simply answer questions from a senator without permission nor sit in the incorrect seat.

One of the most damning contradictions between Fauci’s public and congressional testimony versus what he was saying in private regarded his journal admission that the COVID vaccines were not in fact effective at preventing transmission. In May 2021, Fauci said during an interview aimed specifically at children, “But if you get vaccinated, when the virus tries to infect you, the virus can’t because you are protected.” In November of that year, Fauci told Business Insider that he didn’t know what parents were waiting for to inject their toddlers with the COVID-19 vaccines.

I doubt there’s any sensible, sane sort who seriously expects Fauci will ever face real justice for his serial crimes against the nation, the US Constitution, and its citizenry (which, far as I’m concerned, could only mean death by hanging), or even prison time. But he’s by no means out of the woods all the same; for one thing, he has America’s Governator on his despicable, lying ass too.

Biden-Pardoned Fauci Now Faces Florida State Investigation
It seems Dr. Anthony Fauci, his rapid-fire invocations of the Fifth Amendment, presidential pardon and all, isn’t out of the woods yet. Here at RedState and pretty much everywhere else in the known universe where people are following all this, we’ve noted that the pardon doesn’t protect Dr. Fauci from charges at the state level.

And, the first state to take action on that possibility? Florida. The Sunshine State is launching an investigation into Dr. Fauci and his economy-crushing COVID-19 debacle.

So, what crimes might Dr. Fauci be on the hook for in Florida? The state of Florida may seek charges for civil rights violations resulting from the pandemic restrictions, which were ruinous to small businesses and damaging to schoolkids, who missed out on months of in-person instruction. But those matters are generally civil cases, not criminal ones. Florida may seek to file a civil lawsuit, but for better or for worse, Dr. Fauci was a federal employee making decisions that affected national policy; it’s hard to see a state, any state, pursuing criminal charges against him.

Governor Ron DeSantis was a vocal opponent of the COVID lockdowns, and Florida was among the first states to drop those restrictions. But it’s a little hard to see that developing into a criminal case, one that would convince a grand jury to return an indictment.

But civil liability? That may well be another story.

Possibly the most gratifying thing I’ve read all day on this is an account which reported—after feebly pleading the Fifth over a hundred times; having his lawyer unceremoniously chucked out of the Senate chambers; and being closely, aggressively questioned by several Sentaors included Paul Hawly, and Moreno—that Fauci the Poisonous Dwarf slunk away from his ordeal with tail dragging and head bowed, his rep forever destroyed by his own hubris, greed, and vanity. Happily, Fauci’s “legacy” will not now be what he had so desperately hoped it might, but rather one of disgrace, dishonesty, and disfavor.

Fauci, far from being the courageous, über-intelligent superhero whi stars in his idle fantasies, is nothing but a mediocrity who—via deceit, malfeasance, and stark contempt for scientific rigor—maneged to parlay an over-extended career as a big-government bureacrat into  personal wealth and, if not exactly fame, then notoriety anyway. If nothing else, no one should ever address him as “Doctor” again; he ain’t one—ain’t ever been, ain’t ever gonna be.

Update! Ross posts a Fauci Meme-Storm, and boy, is it EVER. Like the man says, somebody had to do it. My personal favorite:


Fraudulent Fauci as Dr Hannibal Lecter, Rand Paul as Sophie Cunningham—I ask you, what’s not to like here?

Updated update! At the end of his Fauci Meme Shitstorm, Ross links to another great find that I’ve had sitting in an open tab for days now, just waiting for me to finally get around to it: Dr EVIL: Fauci, the Comic Book.

SMACKDOWN!

A repudiation long past due.

Rubio’s Genius Move: Venezuela Quits the ICC. Another Country Follows.
On Friday, the Venezuelan regime’s current Foreign Minister Félix Plasencia announced that “interim president” Delcy Rodríguez had instructed him to express to the current UN secretary-general that Venezuela had made the “firm and irrevocable decision to denounce the Rome Statute and initiate its definitive withdrawal from the [International Criminal Court (ICC)], in accordance with Article 127.” He added:

Venezuela considers that the Court’s actions reflect a demonstrated geographical bias, which has disproportionately concentrated its work on African and Latin American countries, to the detriment of the Global South. This pattern reveals an international justice system that, far from being applied equitably, has been instrumentalized to deepen inequalities among peoples and disregard their right to self-determination and sovereignty.

This bias is not a mere procedural coincidence, but the reflection of an institution that has placed its mechanisms at the service of interests alien to justice and the peoples it claims to protect. For this reason, we reject this dimension of lawfare, which perpetuates the persecution against the Venezuelan people and exacerbates the inequalities that international justice should correct. We reiterate our commitment to a genuinely equitable justice, respectful of the sovereignty and self-determination of peoples.

The United States State Department responded almost immediately on Saturday, welcoming the move and calling on all other members to follow the South American nation’s lead. It also pointed out that the court serves no real purpose, as it had been investigating Nicolás Maduro since 2018 with “no result.” Here’s more:

The United States welcomes the decision by interim President Delcy Rodriguez and Venezuela to withdraw from the ICC and the new Venezuelan government’s partnership on American-led efforts to dismantle the corrupt and worthless ICC. The so-called court has been ‘investigating’ Nicolas Maduro since 2018 with no result. The ICC has instead wasted its resources on investigating and charging persons from countries that have competent, independent judicial systems and which never submitted to the jurisdiction of the court. This is blatant overreach, political bias and selective enforcement. The ICC is neither credible, independent, nor legitimate. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and the efforts of brave American service members, Maduro is now facing justice in a U.S. court for crimes he has committed. It is time to dismantle the ICC. The U.S. calls on all members of the ICC to withdraw from the Rome Statute.

If you’ll remember, Marco Rubio came out a couple of weeks ago and basically told the ICC where it could go and said the United States will dismantle it “brick by brick, if necessary.”

Another heartfelt “attaboy” for America’s greatest SecState ever.

Of all the riotously funny song parodies that ran on the late, lamented Rush Limbaugh radio program, this here one is my hands-down favorite. Don’t know for sure if it’s Paul Shanklin or not, but I assume so.

The bit where the Yugo driver “swerves to miss a baby duck” and then gets “squashed by a produce truck” makes me laugh till my sides ache every single time.

Salisbury steak

Posted on      by     

The fascinating tale of Dr James Salisbury’s renowned brainchild.

alisbury steak — seasoned ground beef patties mixed with breadcrumbs or other ingredients — was invented by James Salisbury, a New York physician who was fascinated by the relationship between diet and health. In the 1850s, he conducted a series of self experiments in which he exclusively ate a single food for a few days or weeks. His first test, a diet of only baked beans, produced disastrous results: “I became very flatulent and constipated, head dizzy, ears ringing, limbs prickly, and was wholly unfitted for mental work,” he wrote in The Relation of Alimentation and Disease (1888). Next came oatmeal and other staples, but it was ground beef, which he called “muscle pulp of beef,” that finally delivered the results he sought.

His prescription was simple: broiled beef patties, served with simple seasonings such as butter, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon. This recipe, he wrote, “affords the maximum of nourishment with the minimum of effort to the digestive organs.” Vegetables, on the other hand, were not only unnecessary but also harmful in his view; Salisbury declared that vegetarians had “less nervous and muscular endurance than meat eaters.”

During the Civil War, Salisbury applied his nutrition theories to Union soldiers, who were fed a diet of beef patties instead of the usual hard biscuits, which tended to cause digestive issues. In the decades following the war, Salisbury’s diet evolved from medical prescription to one of America’s first fad diets, spurred on by the rise of wellness culture and increased public interest in healthy food. (Other notable 19th-century foods believed to promote health included graham crackers, which were originally intended to suppress the libido, and Kellogg’s cornflakes, which were served by their inventor John Harvey Kellogg at his world-famous sanitarium.)

World War I was a further boon for the Salisbury steak, as the name became preferred to the German-sounding “hamburger.” By the mid-20th century, the dish had become a blue-collar classic. Hearty, inexpensive, and easy to prepare in large batches, it appeared on diner menus and Navy cookbooks across America.

Then came the postwar boom — and with it, the rise of television. In 1953, the Swanson company introduced the TV dinner, a frozen meal packaged in a compartmentalized aluminum tray. Within its first year of production, more than 10 million trays were sold in the U.S., and the Salisbury steak was one of the TV dinner’s most enduring offerings. For a generation of midcentury families, Salisbury steak was the taste of modern life: a hot meal ready in minutes, eaten in front of the television.

The same forces that made Salisbury steak famous would later make it unfashionable. In the 2000s, Americans began to fall out of love with processed foods, in part due to growing awareness of their negative health effects. In 2012, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed a ban on large sodas in the city, and First Lady Michelle Obama encouraged children to “Move!” The Salisbury steak, which was by then synonymous with microwaved TV dinners, fell victim to its association with cheap, unhealthy meals.

That said, not all processed foods suffered this fate, and another reason for Salisbury steak’s decline may be that it was outcompeted by its more convenient cousin, the burger, which rose to prominence as one of America’s most popular and iconic meals during the latter half of the 20th century. With the spread of fast-food chains such as McDonald’s and Burger King, many customers opted for the Salisbury steak’s handheld cousin when in the mood for a beef patty.

Though Salisbury steak has faded from the cultural spotlight in recent years, it is viewed with nostalgia by many who grew up with it and can still be found in home kitchens across America.

I ate a gracious plenty of those Swanson dinners featuring Salisbury steak when I was a kid, and it doesn’t seem to have done me any harm. Not that I know of, at any rate.

Via Insty, who quips, “Dr. Salisbury had your best interests at heart.” In stark today’s crop of Goosesteppin’ Left dietary/health/lifestyle scolds, who assuredly do not.

Hellaciously good story gets better and better

And the denouement will knock your socks off.

A Chicago Cubs fan who smacked another spectator who did not stand for The Star-Spangled Banner is speaking out after a video of the incident went viral.

The video drew strong and divided reactions on social media, with public opinion split on the older man’s actions.

Now, he has spoken out on the incident, which happened during the 10-1 win against the Minnesota Twins at Wrigley Field on Sunday, in various interviews.

Robert Chavez claimed that an important element of the story is missing.

In the video, he is seen yelling at the younger man – who was not identified – for his refusal to rise out of his seat.

Chavez told TMZ that he informed the young man of his status as a veteran of the Vietnam War and even rattled him with some stories from the conflict – all to no avail.

But looking back on the incident, Chavez admitted that he shouldn’t have resorted to physical violence.

‘Oh yes, definitely. I wish I could,’ he told Inside Edition when asked if he wanted to take back the slap.

‘Because, you know, even though I fought in Vietnam and I had buddies killed, you know, I mean, we fight for the rights of the people, and that’s one of his rights.’

Chavez then added: ‘Later on, during the game, next thing you know, he’s buying me a beer. We talked, we shook hands.’

A spokesman for the Cubs told TMZ, ‘The National Anthem is an important tradition at Chicago Cubs games. While we respect the rights of individuals to decide for themselves, we encourage every fan to stand, if they are able, and to remove their caps while the anthem is being played.’

The statement continued: ‘At the same time, the safety and security of our fans is our top priority. Our security team spoke with the fan who had been struck.

‘He indicated that the matter had been resolved, he did not want to have anyone ejected from the ballpark or any further action taken, and we respected his wishes.’

Pretty good stuff, no? Mr Chavez is a class act for sure, bless his heart. Like I said, the denouement is a real stunner: the Cubs not only won by a solid trouncing, but also hold 2nd place in the NL Central standings.

Success story

Posted on      by     

It ain’t all that common, really, but there’s a fair number of bands with a similar backstory.

When Kansas got signed…
In 1974, Kansas had one shot to impress a record producer. The meeting was set in the tiny town of Ellinwood, Kansas – population around 800. They needed a full house. So they came up with a simple plan: offer free beer to everyone who came to the show. The room was packed. The energy was electric. And the producer (Don Kirshner) was impressed enough to sign them to a record deal.

A little free beer, a lot of loud music, and a career that was just getting started. Kirshner financed the band out of his own pocket through four albums. When they released ‘Carry on wayward son’, they finally hit gold and the rest is history. A version of the band still tours to this day…

Kinda reminds me just a smidge of a certain hit song from Ye Aulden Thymes.

Back when the BPs were on Miami-based Teen Rebel Records, I remember the owner/proprietor/sole employee of said label giving us the low-down on the inner workings of major-label A&R departments (Artists and Repertoire, ie the folks whose job it is to go out to shows; evaluate unsigned artists and/or their commercial potential, if any; and, ideally, arrange recording contracts for the likelier prospects).

According to our boy Teen Rebel Tony, A&R staff could be broken down into two basic types:

  1. Those who have “the power of NO” (which is pretty much every single one of any given label’s employees)
  2. The exalted few endowed with “the power of YES,” by which Tony meant those authorized to sign an artist entirely on their own initiative, without ever having to beg permission in advance or ask forgiveness later from anybody…well, at least until several of those independently-signed recording artists end up A) bombing badly with their first three (3) releases; B) slaughtering each other in the recording studio over some random, unfathomable dispute; C) becoming crackheads; or D) are caught in bed with one or more same-sex children

In plain words, then, the Category Twos are in effect the only folks in A&R who truly matter.

99 times out of a hundred, the “power of NO” types would notify you well in advance, with inordinate pridefulness and braggadocio, that they’d be coming to check out your show at Club Shithole on such and such a date. Said notification enabled them to luxuriate in feeling like Big Shots whom the band, the supporting act, the venue staff, and basically all and sundry within a five-mile radius would want to suck up to, buy drinks for, introduce their hot girlfriends to, shamelessly flatter, and other such-like industry inanities.

These useless pustules to be compared/contrasted to the “power of YES” people, who disdain to give any kind of notice at all, to anybody, of anything. In fact, you’d usually never even know they were in the joint unless/until they A) approached you after the show; B) introduced themselves and explained who they worked for, in what capacity and why they’d come; and C) expressed at least some interest, albeit slight, in offering you a contract with the label they work for.

Ironically enough, it’s the latter category of A&R rep, rather than the former, that the smart performer with knowledge and experience in such matters will be interested in schmoozing, flattering, and buying cocktails for. Tony also called these the “power of the pen” people—a somewhat more apt and directly descriptive appellation of who they are and what they do, perhaps.

In sum, then, the “power of NO” kids are basically popinjays, pricks, and douchetools. The “power of YES” guys, on the other hand, are professionals who take their roles, their industry, and their artists seriously, with no use for fumble-fucking around, preening, posturing, or obnoxious self-indulgence. Said pros are the crucial first step in the long, wearying slog of getting the music recorded, packaged, and released into the wider world—where it will then stumble or soar on wings the A&R rep provides.

A&R people are in the main unacknowledged and unheralded, even wholly unknown to the world outside of the music biz. Even so, they’re nonetheless bona fide heroes for all that, at least to those of us on the “talent” side of the business.

Understand: this is the old, traditional music industry we’re speaking of here. What with internet sales, streaming, and downloads dominating everything these days, the once-untrammeled power of the major labels such as Sony, Columbia, Epic, Atlantic, &c has diminished greatly, as have their profits, influence, and credibility. Which, if you think about it, would in turn make the job of the Category 2 A&R guy tougher than it’s ever been before.

Over lo, these many years, I’ve personally known far too many of the Cat One types, as well as far too few examples from Cat Two. It’s been years and years since I moved in those circles, alas; I can only wonder what became of them all, and where they are today.

Sucks to be you, cupcake.

Transgender American regrets fleeing to the Netherlands because all the Muslim migrants want to kill him
No, this is not a Babylon Bee story. This is real life.

It’s scary. It’s legitimately scary. I decided that my mental health is degrading so substantially being here that I just need to get out.

The situation I have in the U.S. as a trans person – not good, right? – but here I will be hurt or killed.

Best bit? Gotta be this right hyar (bold mine).

This interview took place in Ter Apel, a Dutch town with only 10,000 residents.

Like many small Western towns, the government has decided to fill Ter Apel with cultural enrichers – most of them military-aged Muslim men who love jihad.

Over 2,200 “refugees” now live at a center in the town – more than a quarter of the native population – putting residents in fear.

Hm. Sounds like somebody’s figured out the whole mishegas might actually be what you call one of them self-solving problems.

Y’know, I’ve read that historically, the Dutch were a pretty dang tough bunch. Having been to the Netherlands myself a time or two and mingled with a fair few of them over there, I can definitely tell you that ordinary, rank ‘n file Dutch folk ain’t at all happy with the Moslem immivasion foisted on them by their Ruling Class politicians.

Yeah, schwarma and falafel are pretty good, I like ’em both. But they ain’t worth the price you ultimately gotta pay to enjoy easy, regular access to them, I don’t think.

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."

"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
