Damn that’s funny!

The dirtiest song ever recorded

Posted on August 15, 2026August 16, 2026 by Mike Leave a comment

Is not “Think Twice Version X” by Jackie Wilson and LaVerne Baker, nor is it “Rotten Cocksuckers’ Ball” by the Clovers, nor is it “Shave ‘Em Dry” by Lucille Bogan—serious contenders all, certainly, but for my money the all-time prize for dirty tuneage goes to, of all artists/groups/whatever…erm…the Andrews Sisters?!?

The title is “Rum And Coca Cola,” which got the thing de facto banned upon its (attempted) 1945 release for the mention of alcohol in both title and chorus. What makes this ditty the all-time champ of dirty is the lyrics’ contention that, basically, every female in Trinidad was a prostitute, running down to the docks to peddle ass to US sailors anytime a Navy ship sailed into port. As the lyrics flatly put it, “Both mother and daughter/Working for the Yankee dollar.”

Nope, nothing coy or subtle about that, I must say.

The melody was published as the work of Venezuelan calypso composer Lionel Belasco on a song titled “L’Année Passée”. The lyrics to “Rum and Coca-Cola” were written by Rupert Grant, another calypso musician from Trinidad who used the stage name Lord Invader.

The song became a local hit and was at the peak of its popularity when US entertainer Morey Amsterdam visited the island in September 1943 as part of a U.S.O. tour. The song was then published in the United States with Amsterdam listed as lyricist and Jeri Sullivan and Paul Baron as composers. Although he claimed never to have heard the song during the month he spent on the island, the lyrics to his version are clearly based on the Lord Invader version, with the music and chorus being virtually identical. However, Amsterdam’s version strips the song of its social commentary. The Lord Invader version laments that U.S. soldiers are debauching local women who “saw that the Yankees treat them nice/and they give them a better price.” Its final stanza describes a newlywed couple whose marriage is ruined when “the bride run away with a soldier lad/and the stupid husband went staring mad.” The Amsterdam version also hints that women are prostituting themselves, preserved in the Lord Invader chorus which says, “Both mother and daughter/Working for the Yankee dollar.”

Since the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got the young girls all goin’ mad
Young girls say they treat ’em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise

The song was recorded in 1944 by The Andrews Sisters, crediting the composition to Amsterdam, Sullivan and Baron. The sisters seem to have given little thought to the meaning of the lyrics. According to Patty Andrews, “We had a recording date, and the song was brought to us the night before the recording date. We hardly really knew it, and when we went in we had some extra time and we just threw it in, and that was the miracle of it. It was actually a faked arrangement. There was no written background, so we just kind of faked it.” In under ten minutes they made a record that sold seven million units and sat at number one on the Billboard magazine chart for seven weeks. Maxine Andrews recalled, “The rhythm was what attracted the Andrews Sisters to ‘Rum and Coca-Cola’. We never thought of the lyric. The lyric was there, it was cute, but we didn’t think of what it meant; but at that time, nobody else would think of it either, because we weren’t as morally open as we are today and so, a lot of stuff—really, no excuses—just went over our heads.” Some stations refused to play the song because it mentioned rum, and alcohol could not be advertised on the air, or because it mentioned the brand name Coca-Cola, which was perceived as advertising for the soft drink.

Fret not, people; y’all know I wouldn’t leave ya hanging as to what the song sounds like.

OH, you naughty, naughty girls!

You GO, girls!

OFFICIAL PRACTICE REPORT

The newly self declared WNBA roster of Enes Kanter Freedom, Royce White, Brock “Briana” Pierson, and Will “Willamina” Van Booraem completed our first closed door practice session this morning.

Key findings:

We outrebounded the imaginary opponents 47-3

The coaching staff asked us to “tone down the testosterone”

Three of us requested larger sports bras. One of us requested a smaller one for “aerodynamics”

Hormone levels remain “under active investigation”

The league’s “fairness” committee has been notified that biology is still under review

We are also issuing the following demands:

Immediate removal of the “women’s” label from the league name (it’s exclusionary)

Separate showers for the people who actually need them

Guaranteed starting spots regardless of shooting percentage, footwork, or facial hair density

A formal apology from anyone still using the phrase “biological male”

Women’s basketball is about to get taller, broader, hairier, and significantly more confusing for the people still stuck in 20th century science.

We’re not asking for inclusion.
We’re demanding a formal apology from anyone still using the phrase “biological male”.

See you at tip off.

Of COURSE there’s a pic, and of COURSE it’s a scream.

I dont even like basketball, never have, but I gotta tell ya I am LOVING this.

Update! Via Insty, Northern Barbarian says: “I never expected to be as enthused as I am now about this whole trans thing.” Me neither, friend.

Speaking of the Instant One, a very happy blogiversary to ya, ol’ buddy.

Ye cats!

Posted on August 13, 2026August 13, 2026 by Mike Leave a comment

Hy-larious kitty-cat article, from Quora.

Why do cats knock things off tables while making direct, unbroken eye contact with you?

Obvious answer: because, that’s why. Better answer:

TabbyNote
6 Hrs

If a cat shoving a glass off a table only cared about gravity, they would watch it fall. When they lock eyes with you instead, it isn’t malice—they’re running an experiment on you.

A cat’s paw pads are packed with highly sensitive nerve endings that act as their primary tool for investigating the world. In the wild, when a feline encounters an unfamiliar object—such as a motionless bug or a dead mouse—they bat it to test if it is alive, how fast it moves, or if it is safe to engage. A pen, a remote, or a glass sitting idle on a coffee table triggers that exact same investigative instinct. Pushing it is their way of gathering data.

Indoor cats also use this behavior to manufacture their own entertainment. A feline environment lacking in mental stimulation creates a bored predator, and for a bored predator, gravity is highly entertaining. Watching an object fall, hearing it hit the floor, and observing how it bounces provides an immediate rush of sensory feedback, temporarily turning a static room into a dynamic playground.

The unbroken eye contact reveals the ultimate motivation: the real toy is the human.

Cats learn cause and effect with remarkable efficiency. They quickly realize that knocking an object off a table is a guaranteed way to make a human stand up, speak loudly, and provide immediate attention. To a bored cat, even negative attention—like yelling or rushing over to shoo them away—is a victory. The unblinking stare is the cat waiting for their custom-built, highly predictable human toy to perform its usual routine. When humans stop reacting, the game loses its appeal, and the cat will usually move on to find a more rewarding source of stimulation.

Heh. Little turds.

“Republicans” for D卐M☭CRATs

It’s fake, a scam? I can’t believe it…I WON’T believe it!

‘Republicans For Talarico’ Exposed As Complete Scam
Leftist outlet MS NOW aired a segment featuring three Texas women who identified themselves as Republicans and vowed to cross over for James Talarico — but records show at least some of them have voted in Democratic primaries and donated to liberal candidates and causes.

Talarico, who has sparked backlash for his fringe views on Christianity, affection for transgender children, and disdain for the American flag, is banking on Republican crossover support to become the first Texas Democrat elected statewide in decades.

“Republicans for Talarico is as real as the six genders that Talarico claims exist, but has yet to explain what they are. This lame rebrand of White Dudes for Kamala is full of lifelong Democrat donors, activists, and other losers,” RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said in a statement to The Daily Wire.

That last would have to be the Quote of the Century of the Week, I think. A certain pertinent question presents itself here, and Ace is just the guy to ask it.

Wait — if this is a scam, does that mean that The Bulwark, The Dispatch, and National Review might be scams, too?

Why, of COURSE not, buddy, perish the thought.

Deep-fried Fauci

Posted on July 29, 2026July 29, 2026 by Mike

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:

Siddown and shaddup, little man

The esteemed Miranda Devine lets ‘er rip.

Mamdani and his DSA comrades have one goal — a communist revolution in America
Our preening mayor, Zohran Mamdani, says his administration’s legal department is examining how best to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if the Israeli prime minister visits New York for UN week in September.

“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court,” Mamdani told The New York Times in an interview published over the weekend.

Well, Marco Rubio has thoughts on that and much more.

The formidable secretary of state last week announced a campaign to “dismantle the ICC — brick by brick, if necessary.”

“The ICC’s interfering with American military and law enforcement operations…would mean the death of the US as a sovereign and independent nation,” he said.

“But this is America…Independence is our birthright. We don’t intend to trade it for rule by a self-appointed priesthood of ‘international law.’ ”

Mamdani’s belief that, as a minor municipal functionary, he wields some imaginary international power to subvert American sovereignty just shows the delusions of his ideology.

His authority extends to fixing potholes and collecting garbage, neither of which he does competently.

But his delusions of grandeur are shared by the misfits, ignoramuses, and foreign interlopers who make up his rancid branch of the Democratic Party — the DSA.

The Democratic Socialists of America know nothing, have built nothing and don’t understand the country they live in, yet they imagine they have the moral authority to tear it down.

Yeee-owtch! I felt that righteous smack all the way over here. Read it all, you’ll love it. But does it get even more hilarious, you ask? Why, yes. Yes, it does.

President Trump on Monday delivered a decisive verbal smackdown to New York City’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, shutting down any notion of detaining Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on American soil.

The president squashed Mamdani’s persistent fantasy of using the NYPD to cuff the Israeli leader over a non-binding ICC (International Criminal Court) warrant that the United States doesn’t even recognize.

“Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social media platform.

“He is fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which recently killed 52,000 innocent protestors, and has spent the last 47 years killing American Soldiers, and others,” he added. “The only ones that should be arrested are the people that led Iran into this unprecedented SPIRAL OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.”

A great big ol’ “Heh” and an “Indeed” for the Bad Orange Man, an it please you. Ahh, but does it get even more hilarious still? Why, YES. Yes, it cert’ly does.

Epic Fail: Mamdani Finally Makes Humiliating Admission About His Threat to Arrest Netanyahu
His little theatre kid performance for his anti-Israel base was smacked down with reality from the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Mike Waltz, President Donald Trump, and even CNN legal analyst Elie Honig. Mamdani was told he had no legal ability to do any such thing and that, in the words of Trump, “no way, no how” was it happening.

Mamdani was finally forced to concede that he didn’t have the power, which had to be embarrassing to him. He’s been acting like he has all this power – only to find out how limited he truly is.

He attacks Netanyahu in this clip posted Tuesday night, accusing him of being a “war criminal,” calling him the “architect of a horrific genocide.” But Mamdani is really fuming that this incident has exposed his empty promise on this and his impotence.

Better get used to the feeling, Mammyjammy. You’re gonna be experiencing a whoooooole lot more of it as your term as NYC “mayor” drags on.

Gawdhelpus!

“Other ways of being.” RIIIIIIGHHHHT.

According to Dr Donna Riley, academic rigour and the expectation of competence are “exclusionary” and tools of “privilege,” and are unfair to women and minorities, for whom rigour and competence are presumably impossible.

Dr Riley goes on to denounce engineering’s “cultures of whiteness and masculinity,” and informs us that, “scientific knowledge itself is gendered, raced, and colonising.”

Says she, “This is about doing away with the concept [of rigour] altogether so we can welcome other ways of knowing. Other ways of being. It is about criticality and reflexivity.”

Yes, the design and construction of fighter jets, oil rigs and 1000-tonne tunnelling machines will one day be informed not by careful calculation, a knowledge of materials and thoroughly tested principles, but by criticality, reflexivity and “other ways of being.”

Dr Riley is the author of the little-read tome Engineering and Social Justice, which she describes as “an attempt to explain the lack of emphasis on social justice in engineering.”

The term “social justice” is, we’re told, “difficult to define” and “resists a concise and permanent definition,” a problem illustrated by the author’s own struggle to arrive at a convincing definition, despite deploying the term on every other page.

But apparently, engineers need to spend less time doing load-bearing calculations and more time pondering “radical protest” and “Marxist traditions.”

Engineering and Social Justice, is it? At the risk of sounding didactic and overly brusque, I’d like to submit that one of these things is most definitely NOT like the other, in a great many meaningful, indeed quite critical, ways.

Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain blasts Bruce Springsteen as an “annoying, bitter old man” who should “shut up” when it comes to politics.

Also note that Mick Jagger, of all people, feels likewise.

Mick Jagger says fans don’t want political lectures at concerts after Bruce Springsteen’s anti-Trump speeches
Mick Jagger says fans don’t come to concerts to hear a political lecture in the wake of Bruce Springsteen’s on-stage speeches targeting President Trump.

The Rolling Stones frontman weighed in during an interview on The New York Times’ podcast Saturday after host David Marchese questioned him about Springsteen, who has repeatedly criticized President Trump during his latest tour.

Marchese said Springsteen “clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth” with fans before asking Jagger, “What does your relationship to the audience mean to you? What do they represent, all those people out there?”

“The bottom line of my thing really is that my job in the live music world is [for] those people that come is to have the best time they possibly can,” Jagger said.

“For two hours or whatever it is, to forget all their problems and the problems of the world and their mortgages and whatever, just to give them the best time they can have.”

Provides me with a perfect excuse to run what I consider to be the absolute GOAT Stones song.

That one, Last Time, and Paint It Black are just about the only Stones tunes I ever much cared about, to be perfectly honest. Always dug Keef, always dug Charlie, but all in all? Yeah, no. I got dragged against my will (by my dear departed MiL, bless her heart) to see them live at the Meadowlands back in 2006, and it was a truly incredible show, I do admit. But still.

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.

Jagger to Springstein: shut up and “sing!”

Posted on July 13, 2026 by Mike

Love him or hate him, he’s right, and you damned well know he is.

Mick Jagger Just Said What Millions of Concertgoers Have Been Thinking
Mick Jagger has spent over 60 years commanding stages, reading crowds, and understanding why people leave home to hear live music.

His conclusion isn’t complicated: Fans came to escape their problems, enjoy the music, and have fund.

They didn’t buy tickets to hear lectures.

Asked about Bruce Springsteen’s habit of attacking President Donald Trump from the stage, Jagger said performers shouldn’t preach to their audience. A Rolling Stones concert should let people forget their mortgages, work pressure, and daily troubles for a few hours.

While I do certainly get the concept of artistic expression’s potential for changing minds, provoking thought, and, ultimately, moving mountains, I also have no patience whatever with entertainers possessed of a certain ideological bent indulging the presumptuous assumption that I’ll ever be willing to sit still for a political lecture from them during a rock and roll show. Sorry, O Great Gazoo, but…NO.

Jagger’s point is sharp because he doesn’t demand political silence from musicians. Songs have carried social and political messages for generations.

He draws the line at turning a paid performance into a speech delivered to people who can’t respond without abandoning seats that may have cost hundreds of dollars.

Springsteen repeatedly crossed that line during his Land of Hope and Dreams tour. He called Trump “reckless, racist, incompetent, and treasonous” and accused his administration of destroying the American idea.

And the beat goes on:

Fans who arrived expecting “Born to Run” also received several minutes of Bruce Springsteen’s keen political analysis.

After all, for the previous many decades, Springsteen has lived among the unwashed, uneducated, and unwitting yocals, listening to us everyday Americans struggle through life.

Pfft!

Of course, he has every right to hold those (überliberal) beliefs and express them. Fans also have every right to wonder why they paid premium prices to hear opinions available free on television, podcasts, and social media.

Some 2026 Springsteen tickets started near $200 for New York shows. Other markets saw resale prices climb far higher, depending on the date and seat. At those prices, promoters might consider adding a warning besides “limited view” and “service fees”; tickets include political commentary whether requested or not.

Of course, it must also be mentioned that any Springstein-licker willing to pony up for said exorbitantly-priced tickets not only well knows beforehand that lectures, Leftard hectoring, and Wokester sermonizing all come along with the price of admission, but also most likely approve wholeheartedly of the opinions they’ll hear their third-rate idol express between BROOOOOOCE! groaning out the tuneless medley of hit “songs.” Such low-IQ refugees from a Pavlov behavioral-science experiment are far more likely to be singing along with every grunt, belch, and incoherent mumble—clenched fists waving and tears streaming down their stubbly cheeks—than to be annoyed and insulted by all the t’ween-songs speechifying.

Personally, I’d rather go to Dearbornistan and sit, shackled and chained to my chair, through a three-hour recording of the Mooselimb call to prayer at high volume than be subjected to “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” yet another gott-damned time. But hey, that’s probably just me, right?

Q: Can the no-referee, no holds barred Death Match inside the traditional padlocked 30-foot cage featuring the Mickster and the aging, addled ex-Boss be very long in coming? Will said match be viewable gratis on a regularly-scheduled WWE broadcast, or will it be a PPV exclusive? Enquiring minds want to know, McMahon.

Dunderhead opens yap, DeSantis slaps it shut

Posted on July 11, 2026 by Mike

Not at all surprising that America’s Governor would have a Silent Cal quote ready to hand with which he could fire back at MomCommie’s intentionally-insulting 4th of July remarks.

Compare Calvin Coolidge on America’s 150th anniversary:

“It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore… https://t.co/yTbh1DK6jm

— Ron DeSantis (@RonDeSantis)

July 3, 2026

Show more defiance:

…that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers.”/p>

I still maintain that Calvin Coolidge was the greatest US President since Jefferson, possibly the GOAT. Likewise, Ron the Great is perhaps the best Governor of them all, ever; it’s a measure of how very far we’ve fallen that I can’t think of a single Gov to compare to him right offhand, much less rival him. I think it safe to say that his reverence for Coolidge parallels my own, and for the same excellent reasons.
