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

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

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

Americans turning on Trump over Israel?

Nope. The account was based in Turkey.

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

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

And so on, and so on.

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

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

“We messed up”

Posted on      by     

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“No, it’s pancakes,” said Masino.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Say, did somebody mention a work-around just a little while ago?

Posted on      by     

Why yes, I do believe somebody did at that.

Lakeside Joe elaborates.

Although you can buy fireworks in the state, they’re not actually legal here. Indeed, The Tampa Tribune in 2014 called fireworks sales in Florida an “institutionalized charade,” leading one lawmaker to call for “more freedom (and) less fraud.”

The whole FUSA could use a hell of a lot more “lawmakers” like that guy, seems to me. If we’d had ‘em all along, from sea to shining sea, it’s a lead-pipe cinch we wouldnt be in the godawful mess we’re in now.

Retail sales are allowed only because of a 60-year-old loophole in the law, the only known one of its kind in the country. That allows “fireworks … to be used solely and exclusively in frightening birds from agricultural works and fish hatcheries.” Indeed, anyone who’s bought fireworks from a roadside tent over the years may remember signing a form acknowledging the buyer falls under an agricultural, fisheries or other exemption.
For the record, fireworks can also be used for “signal purposes or illumination” of a railroad or quarry, “for signal or ceremonial purposes in athletics or sports, or for use by military organizations.”

See what I mean? Now that there’s a GREAT workaround. As all such things should, it tells our would-be masters, in no uncertain terms: you go ahead and write your damned bills, pass ‘em, and pose for the press-gaggle cameras when the Gov signs them into law. Then the whole sorry lot of you can just sit back and watch as we all ignore the fucking things, you Big Government baglappers.

Funny, innit, how Texas keeps slip-sliding deeper and deeper into Progressivist/Mooselimb Perdition, while DeSantis’s Florida just goes from strength to strength to strength. As bastions of liberty go, Texas begins to seem mushy, unreliable, and dispirited, but the Great State of Florida looks more and more like a big upraised middle finger flourished all up in the grilll of Wokester Amerika in a show of defiance, doggedness, and direct challenge.

Interesting prediction from Mark Steyn.

The Shrinking Horizon
Apparently, some twenty-five per cent of the Internet was inaccessible for much of the day – including (depending where you were) significant parts of the Steyn empire. Get used to it. A few years hence, “surfing the net” is going to be like switching on your kitchen light in Baghdad outside the Green Zone. This will be because China and other hostile powers will enjoy messing with us just to probe our strengths and weaknesses. But it will also be because the west’s own governments will appreciate the advantages of a more conditional Internet. Let us say that, oh, multiple schoolgirls get stabbed in Southport or Dublin. Or another couple of French schoolteachers are beheaded by their students. Or two German Christmas markets get mown down on the same day. Just in case some intemperate Lucy Connolly types are tempted to weigh in, would it not be in everyone’s interest for social media to be mysteriously afflicted by a Distributed Denial of Service?

Hate to say it, but put this way it sounds not nearly so far-fetched as I could wish.

You’ll want to read the rest, it being Steyn and all. The bit towards the end about the sudden meteoric rise in the number of mosques in Texas (!!) will freeze your gizzard, so chilling is it. Steyn keeps things light by reeling off a punny quip:

So a new mosque opens in the Lone Star State every fortnight? We are told “don’t mess with Texas”, but apparently you can mosque with Texas to your heart’s content.

Heh. Yep, apparently so. Which just makes Texas exactly like all too many other places in the Recumbent West these days.

Defamation Suit Inbound? Behar: ‘Obvious’ Trump Is Epstein’s Pedophile Partner
ABC News may soon be facing down another costly defamation suit from President Trump. On Thursday’s edition of The View, moderator Joy Behar proclaimed that it was “obvious” that Trump was a pedophile in league with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and took part in the crimes the latter was convicted of.

Amid a segment where they were asserting that the Trump administration wasn’t going to release the Epstein files as Congress demanded with a law earlier this week, Behar insisted it was “obvious” that Trump was a co-conspirator:

Of course, it was no such thing. In fact…


OOOOOOOOPS...

In the course of a phone converstion earler, my brother and I reached the conclusion that Trump would have to be just about the cleanest man ever to enter the US political arena. The Hateful Left has been running a full-court press nonstop against the guy since 2015— investigating, sifting through trash bins, dumpster-diving, bribing snitches, hiring PIs, you name it—trying relentlessly to find anything at all, fair or foul, that they could use against him. And after all that digging, all that effort, all that work, still they got bupkis, di nada, zipparooni, a big fat goose egg.

And this effort wasn’t just a minor thing fobbed off onto the interns, part-timers, and other interoffice small-fry either. Oh no, this was All Hands On Deck: Party members of every rank, position, and payscale; the Enemedia “eite”; high-level FederalGovCo officials, whether elected or appointed; everybody, but EVERYBODY, had both hands and at least one foot in this filthy, stinking mess.

Except Trump, looks like.

Poor morons, one could almost feel sorry for them.  Almost.

Conservatives Run to Fetterman’s Defense After Fall As Liberals Sharpen Their Knives
While we don’t need more evidence that leftists behave like immoral, bloodthirsty ghouls — just look at their response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk for Exhibit A — it’s still important to highlight how quickly these psychopaths turn on their own. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has no doubt discovered this after the reaction to his ventricular fibrillation and subsequent fall.

As soon as the news broke, conservatives across the country flooded social media with well-wishes, while the ghoulish left stormed Bluesky to make fun of him and lament that he survived. And they wonder why more and more Americans are embracing right-wing politics and values? Most Americans possess at least a teeny, tiny bit of human decency. The left appears completely bankrupt of that trait.

The Ghoulish Left. I like that one, gonna have to remember it for future use around h’yar.

Fetterman’s team announced that the senator experienced a “ventricular fibrillation flare-up” and then fell after feeling lightheaded. Keep in mind that this kind of heart condition can become fatal if doctors don’t treat it quickly. It’s far more serious than his team made it sound. Fetterman also sustained minor facial injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.

The Pennsylvania Democrat stayed in good enough spirits to crack a joke, saying, “If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!” Steve Guest, a conservative commentator, exposed the true face of the demonic left by posting screenshots of several BlueSky comments from liberals, many of whom mocked him and wished he hadn’t gotten up again.

So it appears that Fetterman 1) doesn’t take himself too seriously; 2) has a thoughtful, mature perspective on most things; and 3) possesses a light, self-deprecating sense of humor also? Could somebody please explain to me exactly why the hell this guy is in the D卐M☭CRAT criminal organization masquerading as a political party? Or how he even wound up a “liberal” in the first place?

Oh, before I forget: I know it’s kind of A Thing nowadays to lean hard into the Ghoulish Left’s fat, hanging curve balls re: the Kirk-murder response and blast those big meatballs way out into the cheap seats, but let’s please all remember that their hydrophobic reaction was only a slight bit more foamy, frothy, and repellent than usual whenever one of Ours passes. No courtesy; no somber restraint; no trace of respect, grace, dignity, or sympathy for the living will ever be found to our Left. They expect—nay, DEMAND—all those things and much more when one of theirs shuffles on off this mortal coil, but they’d rather gargle diarrhea than extend the same courtesies and considerations to us.

Admittedly, the fact that they not only reveled in Kirk’s wanton slaying—gulping down huge punch-bowls’ worth of the pain and suffering inflicted on his family, friends; and associates; disrupting Kirk memorial gatherings and menacing those in attendance; trampling flower arrangements, knocking over tables and/or chairs, defacing. stealing, or otherwise vandallzing signs, and just generally demolishing impromptu displays expressing love, sympathy, and support wherever and whenever they see them; cavorting madly like horny teenagers high on Ecstasy in celebration of the atrocity—but also incited, promoted, and in every possible way participated in the murder themselves this time is something we haven’t seen a lot of to date. Still, the unseemly and insensitive after-party, the orgiastic glee over the violent death of a hated dissenter, the indecent, purposely hurtful savaging of the deceased as some kind of twisted monster, are all performative grotesqueries we’ve witnessed time and again over the last cpl-three decades at least.

IN SUM: don’t let’s anybody be thinking of the ongoing Charlie Kirk shitfling as any kind of departure from normal; above all, those who DO carry on as if the Kirk outburst represent an unlooked-for escalation or New Low should be called on it, firmly and unequivocally. This, like so much else, is simply who they are, it’s what they do.

Update! Via Insty, I give you Exhibit A for the prosecution.

Meet the Gay Furry Socialist Dem Candidate Who Celebrated Charlie Kirk’s Murder and Loves 9/11
A candidate for the Democratic nomination in a competitive congressional district celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk and said the United States deserved the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack.

Samuel Smeltzer, an IT specialist who identifies as a honey badger and goes by the name “Elyon Badger,” has a history of violent posts on BlueSky, a left-leaning competitor to X, the Washington Free Beacon reported. He is running for the House of Representatives in Michigan’s Seventh Congressional District, currently represented by Republican Rep. Tom Barrett, according to the outlet.

Smeltzer, who has also praised the assassinations of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson, once posted to BlueSky about being banned from X for saying the U.S. deserved the 9/11 attacks carried out by the Islamic group al-Qaeda.

The maniac raves on and on from there—ever more irrationally, offensively, and tiresomely, until by the end he’s just…well, frankly, he’s just blibbering. I cannot in good faith recommend that anybody read the rest of it, sorry.

You don’t hate them NEARLY enough

At the risk of sounding like the most boring old broken record on Earth: just when you think you’ve heard the absolute worst about the Enemedia you could ever possibly hear, along comes some shite like this.

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.

‘Offensive’ musical starring a pansexual Anne Frank could save Broadway
A show has turned the tragedy of Anne Frank into an ‘inclusive’ commentary on wokeness. And New York City audiences can’t get enough.

I recently saw the most brilliant new musical in New York City. It’s not on Broadway. It’s not even in a traditional theatre.

It’s at a bar and performance space called AsylumNYC. And it lives up to the name of its venue.

Slam Frank, whose developmental run opened on September 17 and closes on October 26, is a reimagining of the story of Anne Frank that asks: What if her diary were inclusive? What if we addressed the lack of queer representation in that attic? What if we finally told the story of the Holocaust in a way that honours all people, not just the white people it has always centred on?

In other words: what if someone produced a musical about Anne Frank fit for the 2020s?

The result has been a hit. With mostly word-of-mouth buzz, driven by a monthly publicity budget of less than $60, Slam Frank has so far sold out 28 of its 34 performances, the show’s press agent told me.

Clearly, these pustules have neither shame, conscience. nor decency, not even in undetectable trace amounts. Then again, if they did have, they wouldn’t be Left/liberals in the first place, I suppose. COMING SOON TO A CINEPLEX NEAR YOU: Traci Lords stars as Mother Teresa, with Ron Jeremy as Dondi and Christy Canyon as Sister Bhuvika, in Disney’s’ Taj Mahal Gang-Bang Nuns!

Just in case any of you were wondering if there truly was nothing at all they wouldn’t gleefully shit on from a great height, you have your answer.

Oh for cripe’s sake.


If they couldn’t whine, they’d have nothing to say at all.

A big part of the reason why I find the JewJewJewJEEEEW-haters schtick  so annoying is the way they blame Dem Pesky JOOOZ for absolutely every bad thing that’s ever happened, going all the way back to the crucifixion of Christ (sorry, imbeciles, that’s actually down to the Romans). Sounds exactly like the Nig-Nogs blaming De Wite Man for all their troubles to me. You’d think that at least SOME of them would find that near-equivalence embarrassing. You’d be dead wrong about that, too.

You don’t mess with JD, nor his ol’ lady neither

Posted on      by     

Not if you know what’s good for you, you don’t.

In case you missed it, Joe Biden’s former White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, made some vile comments about Vance’s marriage earlier this week, implying that JD is “scary” and Usha is being held hostage somehow.

I think the little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else. I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you okay? Blink four times. Come over here. We’ll save you. He’s willing to do anything to get there… he’s scarier in certain ways.

I’ve debated writing about this since it happened, but it’s so irritating that I couldn’t bring myself to give it the time of day. First of all, Psaki spent 16 months telling us that Biden was a good president, so why would anyone take anything she says seriously? Second, I’ve learned a lot about the second lady since her husband took office, and she is an incredible woman — a wonderful role model for young women and girls. By all accounts, she adores her husband, and it’s evident in every appearance they make or interview she gives. But even so, she’s an independent woman who has her own interests, thoughts, goals, and affairs. And to hear him tell it, she’s called a lot of the shots in JD’s career.

Anyway, a reporter asked the vice president, who is in Israel today, about Psaki’s statement. Vance couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all, but he also reiterated how lucky he is to have her by his side and let the world know that she can speak for herself on the matter if she wants.

I think it’s disgraceful, but, of course, the second lady can speak for herself. I’m very luck to have a wonderful wife. I know, at least I hope, that my wife feels the same about me, but we’re very lucky to have this journey. Or I should say, I’m very lucky to go on this journey with a very loving wife. We’re going to keep on serving the country together, and I’m honored to have Usha by my side…

I have little else to say about this. Vance’s laugh says it all. It’s ridiculous, and I suspect these attacks will ramp up as Democrats realize they don’t have an obvious 2028 candidate, while we have at least two, with Vance as the obvious frontrunner. Expect this kind of talk to ramp up: Vance is weird, he’s mean, he’s whatever… the reality is he’s a patriotic American, a man who’s serviced his country in the military and in public office, a husband, a father, a Godly man, a masculine man who protects his family but doesn’t overstep his role, and someone with one heck of a sense of humor. He’s overcome so many odds to get here, too. Liberal harpies are no match for the VP.

Of COURSE they’ll “ramp up” the noxious, repulsive bullshit. What else CAN they do? D卐M☭CRAT scumbuckets realize they simply can’t lay a glove on Vance no matter what or how hard they try; the guy just doesn’t rattle, he doesn’t scare, and he never, ever runs away from a fight.

One other thing The Best Darn Veep America Ever Had has got going for him: it’s entertaining as all git-out to watch him work. He floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee in dealing with the Leftard baglappers, and no mistake. JD doesn’t care what they think any more than the rest of us do, and it couldn’t be more obvious…or more terrific, if you ask me.

Machado Warns Against Socialism as Maduro Cries ‘Witch’ Over Her Nobel Peace Prize
For two days, the Venezuelan government didn’t acknowledge that opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Price, though it’s understandable. Illegitimate narco-terrorist president Nicolás Maduro is losing his stronghold on the nation, and Machado is largely the reason for that. On Friday, the whole world learned who she is and what she’s fighting for, which amplified the country’s desire for freedom and democracy, and especially its desire to remove the tyrant who holds it all hostage.

Best Maduro can do is pretend her team is blowing up the not-in-service U.S. embassy in Caracas and that his security forces stopped them — just like he told his country to pretend it’s Christmas or like he tells Donald Trump that he pretends to stop the flow of drugs through the Western Hemisphere.

Just like he pretends to be the nation’s president when it should be Edmundo González, the man who actually won last year’s election.

But on Sunday, during an Indigenous Resistance Day rally, he finally spoke on Machado’s win heard around the world, calling her bruja demoniaca or a “demonic witch.”

He’s another garden-variety Socialist twit, so of course any sensible person would just naturally assume he has no clue what he’s talking about. And said sensible sort would be perfectly correct about that.

Yes, yes, I know, t’is the season and all that (ie, Halloween), but fi the cutie depicted above is what this Maduro dorksnort considers a “witch,” he needs to wipe the goo off his glasses. I’m sure there are plenty of other pics out there in which she looks older, more haggard, more generally just, y’know, YIKES! But going by the pic above and ndthing else, if that’s a witch, then somewhere along the line somebody fed me a whole pack of lies about witches.

Now dig this…

For anyone who still retains even the most tatterdemalion shred of affection for the Greatest City On Earth, the city that never sleeps, so nice they had to name it twice, New York Fookin’ NOO YAWK—which, Lord help me, I do; I still consider my years in a succession of tiny, too-expensive mouse-holes on the good old LES* to be the absolute best years of my life, and no matter how terribly the shitlibs who run the place damage it, there will always be some part of me that loves the Big Rotten Apple—this video of 1960s NYC is really gonna grab ya, but good.

Via Ace; helluva find, buddy!

* Excepting my last apartment way down on East Broadway betwixt Clinton and Montgomery: stashed just east of Chinatown smack dab in the middle of the Williamsburg and Brooklyn bridges; convenient to absolutely nothing and/or nowhere at all; completely impossible to find a cab any time of the day or night; who even knows how many hundreds, perhaps even millions, of blocks’ walk from the closest F train (ie, Orange Line) subway station; perched atop an ultra-Orthodox shul and synagogue, providing daily opportunities for low ethnic humor to us non-payessed, goyische shmendricks; 3 bedroom/1 bath/full kitchen/spacious LR, two BRs on the front of the building with street -facing windows, 3rd BR with French doors, parquet floors, and a big window looking down on a street-level garden alcove; a three-floor walkup building in a quiet, calm, safe working-class neighborhood w/ mostly Puerto-Rican residents—that pad was incredibly roomy by NYC standards, quite affordably priced to boot; admittedly, our place was located well away from anything remotely resembling The Action (a/k/a The Scene, The Lifestyle, The Haps) but after a short while that started to look to us more and more like a benefit, rather than a drawback

Update! Dunno why it never occurred to me to check before, but a quick Luxxle search yielded this:

Yep, there she is all right: 241 E BWay, home sweet home.

Management is under no obligation whatever to allow the comments section to be taken over and ruined by trolls, Leftists, and/or other oxygen thieves, and will take any measures deemed necessary to prevent such. Conduct yourself with the merest modicum of decorum, courtesy, and respect and you'll be fine. Pick pointless squabbles with other commenters, fling provocative personal insults, issue threats, or annoy the host (me) and...you won't.

Should you find yourself sanctioned after running afoul of the CF comments policy as stated and feel you have been wronged, please download and complete the Butthurt Report form below in quadruplicate; retain one copy for your personal records and send the others to the email address posted in the right sidebar.

Please refrain from whining, sniveling, and/or bursting into tears and waving your chubby fists around in frustrated rage, lest you suffer an aneurysm or stroke unnecessarily. Your completed form will be reviewed and your complaint addressed whenever management feels like getting around to it. Thank you.

Notable Quotes

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

Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums

FREEDOM!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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