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

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.

What’s the big idea?

Vivek Ramalamaswamabamadingdong has some peculiar ideas of his own.

As it’s our final show of the year, I’d like to keep it a little more focused than usual – and concentrate on the existential question now facing some of the oldest continuous states on earth: what is a nation? At AmFest and in The New York Times, Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy returned to his contention that America is an “idea” and, if you’re onboard with the “idea”, you’re as American as anybody else. One might formulate the “idea” as a “dream”, as Vivek does:

It is called the American Dream for a reason. There is no Canadian Dream. There is no British Dream. It sounds kind of goofy to say it. There’s no Chinese Dream, okay?

There is, however, a Somali Dream – of moving to Minnesota and opening a state-funded daycare.

On the right one can find opponents of all this dreaminess, but Vivek has no time for them and is reading them out of the movement:

I think the idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up. There is no American who is more American than somebody else.

So a Daughter of the American Revolution is no more American than the daughter of a Minneapolis daycare owner. This would come as news to the fellows who wrote the Preamble to the US Constitution in order to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”. Which, oddly, seems to be how the Somali fraudsters look on it, if you substitute “Blessings of Public Funding” for “Liberty”.

One notes that America rose to global dominance during Calvin Coolidge’s four-decade immigration “pause”. Since then, alas, the US has been busy not only “proposition”-ing itself into a one-way ticket on the oblivion express, but exporting that proposition to the rest of the west’s hitherto conventional “ethno”-states (a qualification that should not, strictly, be necessary), to the point where countries no one thinks of as “nations of immigrants” are about to see their native peoples dispossessed of their ancestral homelands – Sweden and Austria, for example.

Meanwhile, in the United Bleephole, Keir Starmer made it his “priority” to bring “back” to the country a “British” “citizen” who had been gaoled in Egypt for the crime of …well, I’ll let Sir Keir, a man entirely without irony or self-awareness, explain it…

Follows, a truly spectacular blast of multiculti Tourettes from Blightey’s all-time worst PM, after which Steyn picks up the thread again.

The “Briton” in question is a man who believes in the “extermination” of white people, which is apparently no obstacle to all the most eminent white people, from beloved “national treasures” – Bill Nighy, from Love Actually; Judi Dench, M from the Bond films; my old Loose Ends colleague Stephen Fry – and all the most deservedly reviled “right-wing” Conservatives – Sir Iain Duncan Smith – demanding he be brought to England to live at public expense.

It would be rather funny, don’t you think, if his “extermination” of white people began with those listed above…but, if it goes as it usually does, I expect he’ll get you instead.

And should you show fight or attempt to resist in any way, you will be bunged into chokey for the duration, after which the entire episode will be whitewashed, swept under the Establishment rug, and studiously forgotten—by the media, by the cops, by the government, by your neighbors,  by pretty much EVERYBODY, really.

This is the round-robin process by which shithole countries become shithole countries, see.

Nope, you’ll bend over and take your medicine without complaint if you know what’s good for ya, chum, or, y’know, else. It’s the same old story, with the same old denouement, namely:

To repeat: in the next decade-and-a-half, there will be nothing recognisable as the western world absent the deportation of tens of millions of people.

And as we all already know, the Western world will just have to grin and bear it, because said mass deportations—although eminently justified, appropriate, lawful, and reasonable—ain’t ever gonna happen. Seriously, people, how could they, when the selfsame maefactors responsible for bringing them in would also be responsible for booting them out?

In the end, we’re left with the same old conundrum, as expressed in another spot-on Steynism which posits that this mishegas isn’t any kind of mistake, misfire, or miscalculation. No, this is how things are because this is how our Lords and Masters WANT them to be. It isn’t merely happening to us; it’s BEING DONE to us—on purpose, with malice aforethought.

Update! Ace has plenty more on the execrable Starmer’s pet “cultural enricher,” and it’s every bit as bad as you’d expect, maybe even worse.

The UK just welcomed back a true Cultural Enricher who had previously been arrested in Egypt.

The UK actively campaigned for his release and his return to England.

The man routinely calls for the murder of Jews and “colonialists” of all kinds as well as for more “suicide bombings” and more murders of police.

He routinely declares how much he hates “white people” and how they, get this, need to be killed and dominated.
Oh and he also declared his intent to “take over ur towns and rape ur women.”

But I mean that’s obviously just a “joke,” as he says now. No Muslim migrants would ever take over British towns or rape British women. Obviously he’s just being satirical or something.

As is his wont, Ace’s mordant wit is astute enough, piercing enough, to incline me to just go ahead and laugh along with him. But in a very real sense, there’s nothing whatsoever funny about the situation.

Updated update! From the last Xweet Ace includes in his post:

NEWS: Egypt are planning to revoke the citizenship of Alaa Abd El-Fattah so he will be stuck in the UK

Sources inside the Egyptian Government have said this is to embarrass Keir Starmer and warn Britain not to pressure Cairo over human rights-related cases in the future

HUH. Kinda interesting, no? Looks like our own perfidious Powers That Be aren’t the only ones working a plan here.

Vichy GOPers get RESULTS

Just not ones anybody much wants.

Minnesotans Complained to RINO Congressman Years Ago About Somalis. This Is the Response They Got.
Back in 2023, the Republican Conference in the House of Representatives nominated Rep. Tom Emmer (RINO-Northwest Somalia) to be speaker of the House. Once and future President Donald Trump, however, was less than pleased with the prospect of Emmer as speaker, and said that the “globalist RINO” from Minnesota was “totally out-of-touch with Republican Voters.” Trump worked hard against Emmer’s bid to be speaker, and when Emmer dropped out of the race, Trump took a victory lap, saying: “He’s done. It’s over. I killed him.”

Emmer wasn’t quite politically dead; he didn’t become speaker, but he did become House Majority Whip, a position he still holds. Nevertheless, Trump was right. Emmer was indeed totally out of touch with patriotic voters, as he showed when embattled Minnesota residents tried to bring him their complaints about the massive influx of Somalis into the state. Now that those Somalis have perpetrated a multi-billion-dollar welfare fraud scheme, Emmer’s callous indifference to their concerns looks even worse than it did when he first  yawned in the faces of his worried constituents, and chided them for not being more open to diversity.

The Daily Caller reported Monday that back in July 2015, Emmer hosted a town hall event in St. Cloud. Before a packed house in a local bar and grill, one of Emmer’s besieged constituents told the globalist RINO that most of the attendees were there in order to “find out how you feel about assimilation of immigrants.”

The man pointed out the obvious fact that everyone is ignoring, telling Emmer: “We did not ask for those Somalis. Nobody asked us if we, in St. Cloud, want those Somalis. And we understand that social groups, like the Lutheran social service and the Catholic charities, they’re dumping them in areas like St. Cloud.”

That was worthy of a careful and respectful response in itself, but the man continued on, asking Emmer: “OK, and so the question is, how many more are coming? We didn’t ask for these people. Everybody that you read about is talking about this. So that is a main issue in this city. There is no control. The people have no control over any immigration. The mayor doesn’t. I don’t know.”

This was ten years ago, when it was still taken for granted that those who expressed opinions that dissented too sharply from the left’s agenda would be publicly shunned, deplatformed, and silenced. The idea that someone could object to an inundation of unvetted migrants from a jihadi hotspot was still inconceivable in the minds of establishmentarians, and Tom Emmer is and was nothing if not an establishmentarian.

And so Emmer responded to these perfectly reasonable questions and concerns by pushing back against the alleged racism of the questioner. The Minnesota resident must have been suspicious of the Somalis because he was white and they were brown, right? After all, what other possible reason could (he) have had to be suspicious? Emmer went on to insist, in all-out don’t-believe-your-lying-eyes mode, that Somalis were one of “the fastest-assimilating populations.” This prompted groans from his audience, with one man summing up what no doubt many people there were thinking: “Oh, you gotta be kidding me.”

Pure politics as usual…and purely despicable. How much longer will Real Americans allow these reindeer games to go on?

Reserve Currency – What you’ve heard is BS

“The BRICS countries are going to redefine the reserve currency”
“The Chinese Renminbi is going to be the new reserve currency”

You’ve heard it and it is all bullshit promoted by anti-American conmen. Brics are countries like South Africa, Egypt, and Ethiopia, with absolutely nothing to contribute. As for the others, like China – you want to be holding an unstable currency? Of course not, nor does anyone else.

Which is why the dollar remains KING, currently at 58% of the worlds reserve currency holding, and the euro coming next at 1/3 of the USA, roughly 20%. After that it’s all small ball at 6% or less. China is 2% – who wants to hold the renminbi when the chinaman may very well devalue it at anytime?

And all this was taking place with the US under marxist control for many years, devastating our economy.

And now, it is just going to go back up. It peaked at around 70% back about year 2000. I expect to see it even higher in a couple years as the American economy begins taking off*.

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?

Takes one to know one

Are ALL the hoary old homilies we learned as children going to be proven right as rain as time goes by? Looks like, yeah.

At the University of London, some competitive, if unconvincing, umbrage.

Readers will note that the students, these avowed opponents of racism, refer to themselves, and by extension all black students, as if they were some ancient and unfathomable offshoot of humanity, for whom rapport with outsiders is impossible. And who are supposedly oppressed by the unremarkable fact that, in a white-majority country, their professors will often be white and – as seems unavoidable – older than the students. Readers may also wonder how such exquisitely sensitive creatures will fare when faced with potential employers who may also be paler than themselves and, shockingly, not nineteen.

In short, the students are admitting, albeit unwittingly, that in fact they are the inflexible and bigoted ones, the ones preoccupied with racist and ageist stereotypes, and are incapable of feeling “comfortable” with people whose appearance differs from their own.

Apparently, for them, learning is next to impossible unless they are being taught by people who look just like them, are of a similar age, and who share the assumptions of a subset of nineteen-year-olds who are very much accustomed to flattery and indulgence.

Perhaps the students are too busy issuing grandiose demands to consider the humdrum fact that a person’s knowledge, perspective and experience, from which one hopes to benefit, necessarily take time to accumulate. Or to consider the possibility that stretching oneself beyond the familiar and comfortable is the general idea of education.

Fact is, these people are supremely disinterested in education; for them, it’s always and forever about indoctrination, see. Once you’ve taken that fully aboard, you’ll be amazed at how everything comes together and makes sense all of a sudden-like.

FEUD!!

The Hatfields and McCoys, it ain’t.

JD Vance Turns Tables on Reporter’s ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ Gotcha Question in Spectacular Fashion
As we’ve extensively reported, the mainstream media loves to stir the pot when it comes to alleged “tension” among members of the Trump administration, which we’ve seen play out, for example, in hit pieces about Secretary of State Marco Rubio and various members of the Trump team.

One of the more notorious ones involved Rubio and Steve Witkoff, United States Special Envoy to the Middle East, and a longtime close friend of President Trump. A CNN write-up from March claimed without evidence that Rubio was miffed because he allegedly thought he was being “overshadowed” by Witkoff.

Both Witkoff and Rubio shut the rumor down soon after, with Rubio in particular tweeting that “CNN is an anti-Trump gossip tabloid that uses thinly sourced stories to generate clicks and try to make trouble. Witkoff is one of the people I work with the CLOSEST on our team. These people are pathetic.”

The latest addition to the mainstream media’s “feud” narrative comes from Vanity Fair, which published an interview they did over the course of 11 months with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, who, in turn, described the story as “a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history,” an article where “significant context was disregarded,” according to Wiles.

Many members of Trump’s cabinet have rallied to Wiles’ defense, along with Vice President JD Vance, who was asked after an economic speech he gave in Allentown, PA, on Tuesday about a quote from Wiles in the piece where she stated that Vance had been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade.” Vanity Fair did not provide any context for the remark, lending credence to Wiles’ statement about things being taken out of context.

As for Vance, he just nailed it in his response, turning the question around on the reporter by pointing out that not only had the “conspiracy theorist” chatter been a running joke between Wiles and him for months, but also that he was a conspiracy theorist only in the cases where the theory proved true.

Not that truth, facts, or observable reality matter one iota to Enemedia “journolismists,” natch. These jackanapes would NEVER permit such footling inanities to get in the way of a good narrative, don’tchaknow.

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.

The BBC’s Treason In The Falklands War At The Battle of Goose Green
The Battle of Goose Green in 1982 was part of the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina. It was especially notable for two things – the high casualty rate and how the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) committed treason.

Hyperbole? Overstatement? Just a typical attempt at rabble-rousing? Ahh, would that it were so, laddie-buck.

To understand this, here is a quick history lesson. Various European nations claimed them until Britain came along in 1690 and said, “Mine!” Spain did the same in 1713, but to make a long story short, their empire collapsed.

Among the territories they lost was Argentina. Though no longer Spanish, Argentines believe they are the successors of Spain’s claim. They were content to let things be till 1982. So why then?

It was because their military government needed a distraction. The country’s economy sucked. Ditto with its human rights record.

Solution? Distract the people with patriotism and do so before the upcoming so-called elections. But how? Hola, Falklands War!

While Britain was no push-over, the Argentine government gambled on three things: the islands have no strategic value; they have virtually no resources, and they are home to only a tiny population of mostly Brits.

The government also considered the British economy. It was not doing too well in the early 1980s, so the hope was that the Brits would be too distracted and too tight-fisted to do anything about an invasion.

Sure, they would scream and stamp their feet, but that would be it.

The Argentines were not at all worried about the UN. The country was constantly being targeted for its human rights violations, so what was another ding from the international community? People would simply get used to it – just like they did with Tibet.

It did not turn out that way, of course. Britain responded quickly with amphibious landings in San Carlos Water on East Falkland on May 21.

Enter Brigadier Julian Howard Atherden Thompson, commander of 3 Commander Brigade. His job was to take on the Argentines around Goose Green and Darwin.

The area was protected by Task Force Mercedes under Lieutenant-Colonel Ítalo Ángel Piaggi, made up of the 12th Infantry Regiment (IR12) and 3rd Company. Defended by 20 mm Rheinmetalls, two radar-guided Oerlikon 35 mm anti-aircraft guns, and a battery of three OTO Melara Mod 56 105 mm pack Howitzers, Thompson’s job would not be easy.

To make it even more challenging, his men could not be flown in. Most of their helicopters had been aboard the Atlantic Conveyor – which was destroyed by Argentine missiles on May 25.

The plan, therefore, was to land troops at San Carlos Bay and have them walk for two days until they reached Goose Green.

On May 26, the 2nd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment (2 Para) under Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert Jones started to do just that. The Argentines were in for a surprise!

Or so Jones thought until he turned on his radio.

He had tuned into the BBC World Service, which was happily telling the world that the 2nd Para was poised to launch a surprise attack on Goose Green. So much for surprises!

Of course, the treasonous-Left wretches at the Beeb never did face the music for their act of high treason, and the whole sorry affair has been largely forgotten by now—having been eclipsed by more and far worse perfidies over the intervening years. So much so, in fact, that I doubt any of us, either in Once-Great Britain or Amerika v2.0, would even bat an eye at Enemedia staging an encore presentation today.

I and plenty of others have written again and again about the indispensible necessity of keeping the politicians scared half out of their wits of We The People, which injunction remains as relevant now as it ever was. We should also remember, though, that the same necessity obtains for Enemedia “journalists” as well, perhaps even moreso.

In the almost certainly apocryphal words of Thos Jefferson, Samuel Adams, Thomas Paine, and George Washington: When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Whoever said them, wherever they came from originally, the essential truth of those wise words cannot be gainsaid. Let the government, the ProPols, and the Enemedia Hell-kites all quake in terror of us then, as should always and forever be.

It’s just plain good sense

What the hell, it’s about as much so as anything else is these days.

Ladies: You need to get yourselves under control.

A leading indicator of this age is the unprecedented rise of “women” raping other women, “women” exposing themselves on buses, “women” taking out their penises and masturbating in public, “women” touching female children in public bathrooms, etc.

Starting around, oh, 2018, the rates of “women” committing gross sexual offenses previously the domain of mentally-ill men absolutely skyrocketed.

It was unprecedented — and yet not a single “expert” in the field of policing or criminality offered any explanation for it. Not a single study, not a single white-paper report.

Equality, bigots. It’s called equity. Women can take out their penises and rub them against women standing in front of them on the subway, too.

And yes I started that sentence saying it’s “equality” and then stealth-changed the term to “equity” and you know that means? It means you’re a transphobic racist for noticing the change in terminology.

Or are you saying women aren’t ALLOWED to excel in male areas of achievement, bigot?!

Heh. Oh Lord no, far be it from me to ever say such an awful thing.

Eat ’em up, Kid

Here’s hoping he sues them into penury so extreme the whole coven ends up living under a Detroit bridge.

“YOU DEFAMED ME ON LIVE TV — NOW PAY THE PRICE!” — Kid Rock Drops $50 Million Legal Bomb on The View and Whoopi Goldberg After Explosive On-Air Ambush
Los Angeles, CA – November 3, 2025 – The airwaves of daytime television just got a whole lot more litigious. In a move that’s already igniting debates from Nashville honky-tonks to New York greenrooms, rock-rap firebrand Kid Rock—real name Robert James Ritchie—has unleashed a blistering $50 million defamation lawsuit against ABC’s flagship gabfest The View and its outspoken co-host Whoopi Goldberg. What began as a seemingly innocuous segment on cultural divides and free speech has erupted into what Ritchie’s attorneys are calling “a full-frontal assault on truth and decency,” broadcast live to an audience of millions.

This isn’t your garden-variety celebrity spat. It’s a seismic showdown between a self-made provocateur who’s sold over 35 million albums worldwide and a media juggernaut that’s thrived on hot takes for nearly three decades. At its core, the suit accuses Goldberg and her co-hosts of orchestrating a “vicious, calculated ambush” that smeared Ritchie’s reputation, tanked potential business deals, and inflicted “profound emotional distress.” As one legal eagle close to the case put it, “They didn’t just disagree—they drew blood on national TV. Now, they’re going to bleed in the courtroom.”

It started innocently enough. Ritchie, clad in his signature trucker hat and leather vest, leaned into the couch with his trademark swagger, cracking jokes about his “Sweet Southern Sugar” tour and reminiscing about his Detroit roots. “Y’all know I love this country,” he drawled, his voice a gravelly mix of Motown soul and rebel yell. “From the factories to the farms, we’re all in this together.” The audience chuckled, and even Behar cracked a smile at his quip about “building bridges instead of walls—unless it’s a mosh pit.”

But then Goldberg struck. Drawing on Ritchie’s vocal support for Second Amendment rights and his criticisms of “woke Hollywood,” she unleashed a barrage that left the studio audience—and Ritchie himself—reeling. “You parade around like some redneck savior,” Goldberg fired off, her tone sharp as a switchblade, “but let’s be real: your ‘American spirit’ is just code for hate-mongering and division. You’ve built a career on shock value, alienating half the country with your beer-soaked rants. Is this really leadership, or just another grift?”

The room froze. Ritchie, mid-sip of water, set his glass down with a thud that echoed through the microphones. Co-host Hostin piled on, nodding vigorously: “Exactly—your so-called patriotism ignores the marginalized voices you’ve trampled on for years.” Haines chimed in with a softer but no less cutting remark about Ritchie’s “outdated machismo,” while Behar let out a theatrical eye-roll that drew laughs from the crowd. What followed was a 10-minute evisceration, with the panel painting Ritchie as a “dangerous relic” whose influence “poisons the well of public discourse.” No punches pulled, no commercial breaks for mercy.

Ritchie sat there, jaw clenched, as the barbs flew. He attempted a few deflections—”Hey, Whoopi, I respect the hustle, but facts over feelings, right?”—but the hosts steamrolled ahead, framing his political activism as “reckless endangerment” to democracy. By the segment’s end, the applause was polite but tepid, and Ritchie exited stage left without his usual fist-pump to the crowd. Backstage, sources say he was “fuming,” confiding to his team, “That wasn’t an interview—that was an execution.”
T’Was indeed—and was also perfectly typical of what these shit-slurpers and others of their vile ilk do every single day under the guise of “fair” and “honest” “journalism.” Like I said: Penury. Bridges. Immiseration. Etc etc.

Yeppers, go get ’em, Kid, and don’t stop Rocking until their livelihoods are lost, their shows canceled, and their networks are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Kid Rock Inc.

Via Lakeside Joe, who quips: “This is gonna be fun to watch.” Said a real mouthful there, buddy.

Update! Don’t know how I could have mentioned Kid Rock without appending this righteous Kid classic hereupon.

STUDY: TV News Spends Shutdown Playing Defense for Democrats
For the past month the big three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have hammered both Congressional Republicans and President Trump with a wall of negative shutdown coverage, while largely shielding Democrats from blame for the now-historic gridlock.

MRC analysts examined every evening newscast on ABC, CBS, and NBC between October 1 and October 31, 2025. Across the 67 reports and news briefs which discussed the government shutdown, 87 percent of the coverage favored Democrats. Analysts found 83 evaluative statements in which anchors or reporters were critical of Republicans, but just twelve criticizing Democrats.

Summary of Findings

  • Broadcast shutdown coverage heavily favored Democrats over Republicans (87% to 13%).
  • Only 12 reports (less than one fifth) even mentioned that Senate Democrats had refused to vote for a clean continuing resolution.
  • Not a single report mentioned that Democrats voted back in March to end the same Obamacare subsidies which they’re now demanding.

Democrats Routinely Shielded from Blame

Coverage across all three networks was conspicuously vague about how the shutdown even had occurred. There were only 12 instances in which any of the three outlets hinted that Senate Democrats had voted repeatedly against a continuing resolution. On both ABC and CBS, only 12.5 percent of reports on either network mentioned this basic detail. On NBC, that fact was included in just 31 percent of newscasts.

Reports often included lines about the Trump administration “pressuring Democrats,” or soundbites of Republicans demanding Democrats “fund the government,” but usually stopped short of explicitly acknowledging that Senate Democrats were the ones preventing a funding bill from passing.

No, SRSLY?!? Surely not. Why, even good ol’ Captain Renault himself couldn’t possibly be any more shocked than I am at this revoltin’ development.

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."

“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."

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."

“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."
