If nobody’s thought yet to whip up a “Big Balls signal” a la the one Gotham City uses to call for Batman and Robin, I think it’s high time somebody got cracking on it.

1Lakeside Joe posts the renowned Dave Brubeck chestnut, “Take Five,” the one and only hit record I know of written in 5/4 time. Joe calls it an “enduring classic,” and that it most certainly is. Reminded me of another good ‘un I’ve been hearing of late on the local jazz station I resort to when the Wokesterism and PC horseshit ceaselessly pissed out by my usual classical station starts to work my last nerve.
Great melody, bangin’ arrangement, and the brass and wind sections are dialed in tighter’n Dick’s hat band: enduring classic? I’d say so, yeah.
Only a “contender,” WL? The reigning undisputed champeen, I’d say.

One can easily imagine Elon flipping through this kid’s resume folder, laughing himself sick at the nickname, and hiring him immediately just because of it, in the sure and certain knowledge that all he’d have to do afterward was just sit back and wait for CNN shitlibs’ heads to start exploding. Only one proper way to close this post, I think.

The absolute best fast-food burgers in the business, Hi-C orange, plus TITTIES! I ask you, what’s not to like here?
It’s Glorious! Mexico already blinking and promising to put 10,000 soldiers on the border… USAID being shut down, dismantled… The US Treasury has been taken over by MAGA… Office of Personnel Management has sofa beds installed so MAGA people can control it around the clock… It’s hard to keep up! President Trump spent his first term learning how bad it really was, who the bad and good people are, where the bodies lie and where new ones need to be placed. The 2nd Term is the chainsaw as the MAGA team is dismantling the deep state piece by marxist piece in a short period of time. President Trump is treating the enemies of America ruthlessly.
Hat Tip – you should be reading
Update:
It is my belief that the President’s men have uncovered all the evidence implicating certain republicans in illegal activities, and they now have the upper hand in controlling the corrupt bastards.

2News from today, the marxist left is on its heels, and all we need is for the republican party to work with Trump instead of against Trump. Do that and we set the commies back 20-50 years.

Mere days into the job, Pete Hegseth has already impressed me as Secretary of Defense.
Under the Biden administration, wokeness was prioritized over military readiness, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s remarks concerning Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) signal a refreshing shift back to meritocracy, unity, and lethality in our military. During his appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” he was asked about the changes being made in the Department of Defense.
“What’s happening with DEI?” asked Watters. “How’s that going at the Defense Department?”
Hegseth was unapologetic: “DEI is not going well at the Defense Department because it’s dead.”
Boom! After years of DEI initiatives weakening our military, the current administration has finally taken decisive action to shut it down, refocusing the armed forces on their core mission: strength, readiness, and defense.
Perhaps one of the most striking elements of Hegseth’s statement, however, was his sharp critique of a popular axiom.
“Jesse, one of the dumbest phrases in military history is ‘our diversity is our strength,’” Hegseth said. “Our diversity is not our strength. Our unity and our shared purpose is our strength.”
Hegseth’s declaration is not just a departure from recent policies; it’s a clarion call for soldiers to rally around their common mission: defending the United States. In an organization built on trust and teamwork, focusing on shared goals is undoubtedly more effective than exacerbating divisions based on identity.
Great job so far, Pete. Keep right on slapping those empty heads and making ‘em ring like Quasimodo’s bells. It’s a joy and a wonder to behold, and it’s time and well past time that somebody r’ared up on their hind legs and did it.
31Rather than separate citations of and/or excerpted passages reporting each of these most edifying developments from Trump Admin v2.0 the last few days, I’ll just quote Ace’s capsule summary and point y’all that-a-way, wherein he includes all those encouraging stories and links in one tidy package, and call it a job well and efficiently done.
Remember the media claiming that Trump and Musk were on the outs, and Trump wanted to bannish Musk from Mar-a-Lago?
Well, thanks to @ComradeArthur/@ArthurKimes, the Daily Mail reports that Trump has offered Musk a bedroom at the White House, because he was camping out at DOGE.
RFKJr. pointed out that Champagne Socialist Bernie Sanders receives huge donations from Big Pharma. Sanders claimed that he doesn’t take donation from CEOs or PACs, and that all of the millions he’s taken from Big Phama came from “the workers.” Sure, “the workers” maxxing out donations to Senator because they’re so concerned about Sanders promoting the corporation they work for.
Senator Liz Warpath has taken $5.2 million from Big Pharma, and she earned every penny of that bribe when she demanded that RFKJr. agree to never again sue Big Pharma, after he returns to private life after serving as SecHealth.
Kash Patel promised Marsha Blackburn that he, unlike Christopher Wray, would deliver over all the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Patel confirmed that he and Trump attempted to deploy the National Guard on January 6th but Nancy Pelosi blocked the move.
Patel’s best moment came when literal goon — I mean a literal goon; she comes from the race of Goons as seen in Popeye cartoons — Amy Klobuchar said she wanted five hours to question him. “You have two minutes,” Patel said.
Unfortunately Maizie Hirono persists. I wouldn’t trust this developmentally-disabled obese woman to buff my toenails.
Senator John Kennedy to Patel: “Sounds to me we’ve got to get some new conspiracy theories because all the old ones turned out to be true. Conspiracy theorists are up something like 37 to nothin’.”
Tulsi Gabbard explains why she said that paying terrorist groups to overthrow Syria’s Assad would result in a terrorist taking power in that country. The reason she feels justified in predicting this is that this is exactly what happened — a terrorist is now in charge of Syria.
But apart from that, why did you say that, Tulsi?
Heh. Indeed. Oh, and one more excellent quote, this one from Veep (and with any luck the next President) JD Vance.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: the problem with Rory and people like him is that he has an IQ of 110 and thinks he has an IQ of 130. This false arrogance drives so much elite failure over the last 40 years.

110 IQ? You’re being way too kind to this asshat, JD; I’d’ve said an IQ of no better than 85 or so myself.

Jeremiad To The Democrats The First: Abandon The Fucking Idiot Transsexual Woke Bullshit
All of it.ALL. OF. IT.
That’s going to be the overarching lesson for the first few of these. But because there’s so much social justice bullshit, I’m going to have to break these lessons up to cover different types of social justice warrior bullshit.
Lesson the First: Abandon your transsexual madness.
- Cut out all the transsexual bullshit. Sex is not a social construct. There are two sexes, male and female. If you have XY chromosomes, you are male. If you have XX chromosomes, you are female. A man cannot make himself into a woman by any means, and certainly not by simply declaring he’s a woman. Stop pretending otherwise. Stop pretending that “gender” is “fluid.” Stop pretending that a few odd genetic corner cases give you permission to pretend a man wearing a dress is a woman. Stop enabling mental illness. We’re not playing anymore.
- Get your fucking child-mutilating hands off children. If you insane, mentally ill perverts want to mutilate your own damn body, fine. Not my circus, not my monkeys. But when you start mutilating the genitalia of children and start sterilizing children for life, fuck you and every one of your virtue-signaling comrades and expect to lose every election between now and the heat death of the universe.
- Stop putting men pretending to be women into women’s prisons. Democrats go to great lengths to assure the public they’re against rape, but when it comes down to preventing rape or enabling their virtue signaling, Democratic prison officials across the country have decided they’re just fine and dandy with rape. Just as with UK’s Labour government being just fine with systemic child rape of British women by unassimilated Muslim immigrants in the Rotherham et. al. scandals being an acceptable price to pay for more “multicultural” voters, so too the Democratic Party seems to think repeated rape of incarcerated women by male felons claiming to be woman is necessary for the greater glory of “social justice.”
- Stop asking government to pay for “sex change operations” for illegal aliens and convicted felons. Remember how Kamala Harris’ promise to pay for sex changes for illegal aliens in 2020 came back to bite her in the ass in 2024. Like I said, if you freaks want to pay to mutilate yourself, we don’t give a rat’s ass. But when ordinary people are having trouble paying for food because of the lingering inflation from the Biden Recession, they get angry when you use their tax dollars to pay for idiot virtue-signaling bullshit. Ditto Julian Castro’s absurd pimping of “transgender abortion.”
- Cut out the bullshit euphemisms. Mutilating a child’s genitalia isn’t “gender affirming care,” it’s evil perversion we will hold you to account for performing. Likewise:
- Stop pretending that refusing to indulge in the mentally ill delusion that someone is a different sex than the one they were born with is “literally killing them.” “Do what I say or I’ll kill myself” has never been a morally acceptable threat, and studies show that mutilating people in the name of “gender affirming care” doesn’t decrease the risk of suicide. Quite the opposite: “The results of this study indicate that patients who have undergone gender affirmation surgery are associated with significantly higher risks of suicide, self-harm, and PTSD compared to general population control groups.”
Annnnd KABOOM! Nailed it, clean and tight. THEY ain’t gonna like it, but I most certainly do—not that they’ll heed a word of it, much less listen. Which, y’know, is kinda tough to do anyhow with fingers jammed in each ear as you sing TRALALALALA at top volume till your throat is raw and your face is turning blue. Yet more rich, buttery goodness over at the Battleswarm hang.
Glenn helpfully explains where the wrecking ball comes into the picture.
Trump is following through with unprecedented and swift action to begin his presidency – which has reset the national mood
Soon after November’s election, I suggested that if Donald Trump were smart, he’d come in like a wrecking ball: Move fast, break things and precipitate change across many fronts all at once, subjecting the Democrats, the media and the left (but I repeat myself) to shock and awe.Boy, has he ever done that, unleashing unprecedented change in just his first 100 hours.
He banned DEI throughout the federal government, closed the borders to illegal immigrants (according to Customs and Border Protection, illegal crossings dropped 97% by Trump’s second day in office), halted government censorship efforts, refocused the Defense Department from social issues to warfighting, and started a massive cleanup at the corrupt Department of Justice.
Follows, a most edifying litany of Trump moves, directives, and initiatives, culminating with:
A week or two ago, all these things seemed too hard to accomplish.
Now they’re simply being done.
Oh, there’s resistance: The Air Force announced that as part of Trump’s DEI ban it would stop teaching cadets about the Tuskeegee Airmen scandal, an act of obvious bad faith designed to grab headlines.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who knows whereof he speaks, rightly called this “political theatrics” and “passive-aggressive performative nonsense . . . It’s all an act.”
It is an act, and the actors should be sacked.
Indeed they should, in fact, MUST—every man Jack of them, lest this nascent movement in all the right directions be kilt a-borning.
But that they’re trying this sort of idiocy is proof that they’re flailing and desperate. Trump has the momentum.
One reason for this, of course, is that things like the DEI ban and immigration enforcement are wildly popular.
The American public has never supported affirmative action or open borders.
Those are policy preferences of the elites, who bullied opponents by calling them racist.
That doesn’t work anymore.
Nor should it. May it ever be thus.
Any article that opens with Cromwell’s most well-remembered quote is bound to catch my eye, and this too-brief piece is some seriously heady stuff.
“Is it therefore infallibly agreeable to the Word of God, all that you say? I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken.”–Oliver Cromwell, letter to the general assembly of the Church of Scotland (3 August 1650)
Five years ago, I wrote a book about evolution and human cognition. This was a stretch for me, as I am a three-time English major, so I did a lot of research. It was fascinating research, which taught me a lot of important things about knowledge, human nature, cognition, and storytelling. It also taught me the single most depressing thing that I know, which is this: human reason did not evolve to help us find the truth; it evolved to help us defend positions arrived at in largely unreasonable ways.
The reasons for this lie deep in the reptilian corners of our brains. Natural selection selects for what is useful, which may or may not be what is true. Decisiveness is useful. Appearing confident is useful. Defending one’s turf is useful. And winning fights is always useful. But knowing the truth about abstract universal propositions involving beauty, truth, and God? Not so much. It turns out that appearing to know the truth about these things is much more valuable, evolutionarily speaking, than actually being right.
Culture reinforces these evolutionary dynamics in different ways. Mormon culture, for example, places an enormous premium on appearing to know the truth, especially in religious matters. Few people ever stand up in testimony meeting to proclaim that they think the Church is true, or even that they hope or believe the Church is true. From the time we can talk, we announce from the pulpit that we know the Church is true. We know it from the bottom of our hearts, with every fiber of our beings, absolutely, certainly, completely, just like Moroni promised.
But here’s the deal: you are wrong about stuff. I am wrong about stuff. We are all wrong about stuff. This is just math. Given the number of things that all of us believe (or do not believe) to be facts, the number of things that we consider (or do not consider) valuable, and the number of policies that we think (or do not think) will work, there is no possible way that we are going to be right about everything. We understand this retroactively. We can all remember times that we were wrong in the past. But such is the nature of human cognition that we can barely even fathom what we might be wrong about today.
And this is why Cromwell’s challenge–“I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you might be mistaken”–is so important to us (and yes, I do realize how ironic it is to quote Oliver Cromwell on the possibility of being wrong). Another word for this is “humility.” This is important because it actually is part of our religion, and because it makes us people that other people can stand to be around. But it is also important because, as a matter of near-mathematical certainty, we actually are wrong about some religious things–and probably quite a few.
Yeah, well, with so many Leftards all around us nowadays, humility has necessarily become a quite scarce commodity.
This is a
. Trillions of dollars of your money is wasted on programs that are nothing more than communist enabling wealth transfers from your pocket to the pockets of others with very little of the wealth even benefitting the supposed recipients of such aid. What it actually does is enslave the supposed recipients to government funding, make real Americans poorer as a result of the government theft, and enrich the supporters of communist government policy.

The deep state tried to kill Trump, THAT is CLEAR. They failed because they wanted it to look like some mental case did it. Of course we know it was their mental case.
This is this weeks list of deeps state purges being carried out by President Trump. If you read nothing else read this, and then thank Americans for never giving up on Trump and Trump on not giving up on America.
BOOM! How President Trump is exploiting a loop-hole to enact IMMEDIATE purge of deep state at DOJ
After reading that, start paying attention to those that have told you Trump was part of the deep state, that told you Trump couldn’t win the election, that told you Trump made too many mistakes, that told you Trump didn’t live up to his promises, that Trump was really a democrat… Remember them well, because they are your enemy, they are traitors.
