Flotsam and/or Jetsam

Have people had a bellyful of it yet?

Posted on July 17, 2025 by Mike

Looks like the Spaniards may have, some of them at any rate. Heartfelt kudos to those cake-eating civilians for at last r’aring up on their hind legs, angrily screaming “ENOUGH already!!” Next comes the traditional raising of the Middle Digit Of Hate© in the general direction of Established Officialdom at every level, closely followed by aggrieved Serf Class knaves taking matters into their own (unwashed) hands.

Hopefully, it’s not already way too late for the Spanish Peasant Uprising of 2025 to be of much help in the way of significant sociopolitical change, beyond affording the local yokels a fleeting sense of pride, bravery, and honor reclaimed—both personal and national varieties in one fell swoop, as they say.

Big Trouble in Torre Pacheco
For the last few days there has been widespread unrest in the region of Murcia in southeastern Spain. The trouble began last weekend in Torre Pacheco, when a 68-year-old was attacked and wounded by what he said were Moroccan culture-enrichers. Angry groups of native Spaniards then took to the streets looking for Moroccan culprits, and from there the unrest spread to other Murcian cities. There have been multiple reports on the ructions in recent news feeds (see, for example, The Daily Mail, GBNews, Blue News, Brussels Signal, and European Conservative).

The following article from the Spanish public broadcaster RTVE, also translated by Gary Fouse, describes recent events in Torre Pacheco:

6 arrests for attacks, damages, and altercations in the unrest in Torre Pacheco (Murcia)
Six persons have been arrested — five Spaniards and one Maghrebian — for assaults, damages, and altercations in a police operation deployed in Torre Pacheco, Murcia, as Mariola Guevara, the government delegate in the community, reported tonight.

Thus, during Sunday, the forces and agencies of state security have arrested another five persons, all of Spanish nationality, in addition to the Maghrebian arrested on Saturday.

Three of those were arrested were for attacking a Moroccan minor and for causing damage to a journalist’s sound equipment; two others were arrested as they were walking around in a group on a public street wearing bicycle helmets in a suspicious manner.

Hmph. SO, then, let’s recap:

Violent retribution against randomly selected Muzzrat immivaders
Trashing the (pricey) gear of purveyors of Europropaganda
Carrying out a surveillance and intel-gathering mission, as well as intimidating, confusing, and antagonizing the enemy via large groups dressing and conducting themselves “in a suspicious manner,” which sounds like all-purpose legal bafflegab whose meaning is adjustable according to the circumstances; the aspect which pisses off the Spanish Stasi most of all is how the RAYCISS!© thugs evinced not the least concern at the prospect of arrest, jail, fines, and presumably, execution by keelhauling

I dunno; sounds to me as if those Spanish ReichWingNaziDeathBeasts© have their heads screwed on straight—clearly, their hearts are in the right place, and they’ve got their priorities in order. Some regularly-scheduled range time—let’s say, a bare minimum of two (2) hours, thrice weekly—could well be indicated here, before Spanish Leftwits completely outlaw all such terrifying, deadly, and barbaric places and pursuits.

Ruh-roohhh

The earlier Iran war post was getting long in the tooth enough that I thought it high time to start a brand new, fresh one on the topic.

BREAKING: Trump Departs G7 Early. Is Something Big About to Go Down?
On Monday evening, President Donald Trump issued an ominous warning to Iran.

“Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign,” he said in a post on Truth Social. “What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”

Moments ago, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated that he’s leaving the G7 Summit in Canada:

He is reportedly leaving the summit early to go back to Washington, D.C.

Unconfirmed reports on X suggest that strikes on Tehran began right after Trump’s post on Truth Social.

Trump followed up his original post with another saying, “AMERICA FIRST means many GREAT things, including the fact that, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

President Trump clearly isn’t playing games. According to Fox News, he’s ordered the National Security Council to be ready in the White House Situation Room—an unmistakable sign that something big is going on. Military, intelligence, and diplomatic channels are all on high alert. Missiles are being prepped on both sides.

Yikes! As stated earlier, not a whole lot we can do now but just wait and see. Meanwhile, the psychos in charge of Iran are ramping up the Doomsday rhetoric higher and hotter than ever before.

Meanwhile, the Iranian regime just turned up the heat. In a chilling escalation, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has publicly warned that a strike on Israel is imminent, and they’re not mincing words. “All cities, facilities, and centers will be considered legitimate military targets,” the IRGC declared, urging evacuations across the so-called “occupied territories.”

Aerospace forces are reportedly preparing to launch within hours, as Tehran moves from vague threats to explicit ultimatums. This isn’t posturing—it’s a direct challenge, framed to strike both military and psychological blows.

There’s never been any reason to assume the wild-eyed fanatics in Tehran lack the will, the desire, to make good on their ever-more-hair-raising threats of revenge, destruction, and death against Satans both Great and Lesser. Quite the opposite, in fact. The only question is, do the Mad Mullahs have the means which would enable them to make good on their fiery bluster? The materiél, the reach, the faith and trust of the lower-ranking military personnel who will be the ones charged with actually carrying out the “Go!” order once it’s been issued?

A related question which looms ever larger: after years of Western governments deliberately importing hordes of unassimilable, unvetted Moslem savages into the US and Europe, scattering them willy-nilly across their soft, inattentive nations as “refugees,” nearly all of them military-service-age males—a resettlement program which, incredibly, didn’t even bother to track these men or keep records on where they wound up—how confident can we really be that they aren’t even now quietly watching and waiting for a “Go!” order of their own?

Update! Well. WellwellwellwellwellwellwellwellwellWELL.

New: Iran Folds Like a Wash-and-Wear Suit, Starts Begging for a Ceasefire
Things aren’t going well for Iran. While the Islamist nation has managed to kill some civilians by indiscriminately lobbing ballistic missiles at Israel, when it comes to the actual business of winning the war, the scoreboard isn’t even close. The latest evidence of that? Iran is now begging for a ceasefire.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Mullahs are looking for an off-ramp, burning up the backchannels to try to get the United States to bail them out.

Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the U.S. via Arab intermediaries, Middle Eastern and European officials said.

In the midst of a ferocious Israeli air campaign, Tehran has told Arab officials it would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the U.S. doesn’t join the attack, the officials said. Iran also passed messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.

I’m not sure if what’s left of the Iranian leadership doesn’t understand how negotiations work, but they probably should have taken them seriously before Israel began its military operation to destroy their nuclear program. It took only three days for the IDF to establish air superiority over Tehran, and they are now bombing regime targets with impunity. That includes the launchers being used to shoot missiles at Israel. Once that threat is minimized, the Mullahs will have nothing left to respond with.

In other words, Iran is on the ropes, and that’s why they are desperately hoping President Donald Trump’s instinct to negotiate gives them a face-saving off-ramp that preserves the regime. Will that happen? I don’t know, but I know what I think should happen.

He lays out what he thinks in the very next ‘graph, an opinion with which I must say I concur without reservation. That stipulated, I probably should also note that the timestamp indicates that this piece went live shortly after the lunch hour this afternoon, so may well have been overtaken by events since then.

Updated update! A later post, this one from a little after 7 PM this evening, portrays Trump as playing hardball, talking tough, and showing no interest whatsoever in backing off or “moderating” his stance one single bit. None of which should come as any big surprise to anybody, being perfectly typical of the man.

Breaking: Trump Declares Iran Cannot Have a Nuclear Weapon, Warns People to Evacuate Tehran ‘Immediately’
President Donald Trump made waves at the G7 on Monday by refusing to sign a joint statement calling for “restraint” between Israel and Iran. The statement would have also affirmed the latter’s ability to have a nuclear program under the guise of “supervision.”

In other words, Trump has no interest in preserving the status quo that led us to this point in the first place.

Joe Biden would have rushed to sign that statement, but the days of America taking a backseat to the clowns at the G7, including France, Canada, the UK, and Germany, are over. This is not the time for “restraint.” It’s the time to let Israel finish the job, considering how much of the hard work has already been done. Iran’s air defenses have been neutralized, and the IDF has total air superiority. The Mullahs have no leverage and nothing to offer at this point. Giving them an off-ramp to save their nuclear program would be moronic. So, of course, that’s what the Canadians and Europeans are calling for. They are nothing if not perpetually weak and useless.

And if we know anything at all about our sitting President by now, it’s that he don’t play none of that “weak and useless” shit. “Weak and useless” is not who he is, not what he does, and is for sure and certain no part of what got him elected by a landslide. Thank goodness.

Update to the updated update! The peerless Robert Spencer lays down some of the backstory for us.

As far back as Nov. 2012, a huge billboard on Tehran’s Niayesh highway depicted a missile with the legend, “Destination Tel Aviv.” It attracted little attention from the Iranians who drove by it. Over the previous three decades of living in the Islamic Republic, they had become accustomed to a steady barrage of bellicose anti-Israel rhetoric. From the moment the Iranian mullahs took power, they had been outspoken about their hostility to Israel. The Ayatollah Khomeini dubbed Israel “the Little Satan” and once declared, “this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time.”

The Islamic Republic has been determined from its inception to make sure that happened. It set out to make good on its aggressive rhetoric in the early 1980s by creating Hizballah as a permanent force set against the Jewish state. During the 2006 Israeli-Hizballah conflict, Iranian forces directly aided Hizballah, and two members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps were killed fighting alongside Hizballah in Lebanon. Hundreds of Iranian soldiers aided Hizballah in firing missiles into Israel.

Iran’s proxy war against Israel didn’t begin after Oct. 7. As far back as March 2009, Iran was shipping weapons to Gaza through Sudan—until Israeli forces carried out airstrikes against the shipments. Two years later, Israeli commandos boarded a cargo ship flying the Liberian flag. On it they found, in containers that were labeled as carrying cotton and lentils, mortar shells and Chinese-made anti-ship missiles bound for Hamas. Instruction manuals were written in Farsi. The cargo had been loaded in the Syrian port of Latakia; then the ship had made its way to Turkey before attempting to pass by Israeli defenses and get its cargo to Hamas.

On July 18, 2012, a caller to Bulgaria’s tourist office warned that a group of Israeli tourists who were just arriving would be “welcomed by two bombs.” When the tourists duly arrived at Bulgaria’s Burgas International Airport, they boarded a bus to their hotel—and seven people were killed and over thirty more wounded when a bomb tore through that bus.

Benjamin Netanyahu immediately pointed to the mullahs and accused them of carrying out terror attacks against Israelis all over the globe: “All signs point towards Iran. Over the last few months we have seen Iran’s attempts to attack Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus and other countries. Exactly 18 years to the day after the horrendous attack on the Jewish Community Center in Argentina, deadly Iranian terrorism continues to strike at innocent people. This is a global Iranian terror onslaught and Israel will react firmly to it.”

Nearly thirteen years later, that Iranian terror onslaught continues, and Israel is finally taking decisive action to end it once and for all. The Jewish state deserves the gratitude of the free world.

Indeed it does, good sir. The tunnel-visioned ((((!!!JooJooJooJOOOOO!!!))))-H8RRR single-issue obsessives and their Cyclopean doctrine which insists on dumping our parasitic false friends of the “Zionist entity” as our go-to partner in the ME—diplomatically, militarily, economically, philosophically, to name but a few of the bonds which connect us—in preference for embracing “our natural allies” the Muzzrats are looking mighty doggone silly right about now whether they realize it or not, even moreso in light of the above (only partial, remember) damning indictment of the Iranian regime.

The great contradiction

Posted on June 16, 2025June 16, 2025 by Mike

Well, one of ‘em, at any rate. These days, one of a great, great many, seems like.

Trump Fires Back at Tucker Carlson Over Israel-Iran Strikes
Trump is firing back at those who say that supporting Israel doesn’t necessarily serve American interests and is thus not “America First.” He explained it all to The Atlantic’s Michael Scherer, who asked the president a question about the views of people like (TuckerCarlson.

“Well, considering that I’m the one that developed ‘America First,’ and considering that the term wasn’t used until I came along, I think I’m the one that decides that,” Trump told Scherer. “For those people who say they want peace — you can’t have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapon. So for all of those wonderful people who don’t want to do anything about Iran having a nuclear weapon—that’s not peace.”

Bold mine, just to highlight exactly what I’m talking about here. Far as I can determine, these are the horns of our geat contemporary dilemna: assuming we DO have any sort of obligation to end the threat presented to Western democracies by terror-sponsorong rogue states of which Iran is the undisputed ring-leader—insofar as it really lies within our power to do so—then how far do we let the West’s kinda-sorta Reverse Prime Directive requiring that we mind our own friggin’ beeswax go to hold us back?

Just spitballing here, folks, that’s all. Seems to me it’s a pretty interesting thought experiment; not saying I buy into any of it, on either side.

Update! What if…?

If the Iranian Regime Falls, What Will Follow?
A sudden collapse of the Iranian regime looks like a real possibility.

As far as I know, the Israelis have no plans to take out Iran’s spiritual leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, but they are systematically dismantling the pillars of state power underneath him. The Ayatollahs are on the run, and the generation that put them into power doesn’t have a ton of support from average Iranians.

Persia in the 1960s and 1970s was a rapidly developing and Westernizing country. It was the regional power, balancing the less Western-friendly Arab states. The women were treated with dignity and enjoyed the same freedoms as Western women–videos of Iranians living their daily life were not very dissimilar to those from a European Mediterranean city.

But the regime was toppled by Islamists who were very unhappy with the trend toward Westernization. An unholy alliance between communists and Islamists systematically undermined the regime, and when Jimmy Carter withdrew US support for the Shah due to his repression of the opposition, the regime fell.

The Shah was right and Carter was wrong. We have been in a low-medium level conflict with Iran for over four decades, and millions died in the Iran-Iraq war because of Carter’s foolishness. The Middle East was destabilized, and progress was set back decades.

From what we should damned well have learned about it by now, nation-building in places inhabited by hyper-aggressive 13th-century primordials whose pseudo-religion has inculcated in them an obsessive drive for world conquest is a mug’s game. At this point, all the optimism in the world isn’t going to suffice to make Iran an exception to the rule. Despite having been moving steadily and rapidly along for years and years in a much more felicitous direction, those halcyon days under the Shah are long gone now. The Mad Mullahs having beavered away in quite the opposite direction throughout their tenure, it ain’t likely they can ever be brought back.

As I have long maintained, Jimmeh Peanuthead has more to answer for than just about any other US President I can think of right offhand. By sitting back and more or less passively allowing the Shah to be deposed, he hung a burden around the neck of Western Civ that has weighed it down mightily ever since. Thus is it demonstrated yet again just where exactly the road paved with good intentions leads.

Updated update! Aesop helpfully points out a few interesting bits of operational arcana and backstage legerdemain I hadn’t thought of.

Iran has been the bleeding ass sore of the Middle East since 1979.

We should have been flying Arc Light rounders to their cities from Diego Garcia hourly for the last 50 years, but we’ve been too chickenshit to man up and do what’s both deserved, and long past necessary.

Israel lacked the ability to do what they did yesterday as anything but one-way suicide missions, until they were sold US KC-135 tanker aircraft during Obozo’s administration.

Israel can’t wait until after there’s a mushroom cloud overhead to act. It’s an existential luxury, and asinine to expect it of them. So Wikileaks should either STFU, or quit the charade by just putting on a pointed white hood, and get their true feelings out in the open.

They could be that stupid once, but to stay this stupid perpetually is the calculated and deliberate act of someone maliciously hoping they could see all of Israel smoked under a rain of nuclear destruction, partly as wishcasting, and secondarily as a shout out of affirmation to their fellow mouth-breathers worldwide.

Like the internet was short of that at any point since it started existing.

20-Dimensional chess move: while Trump’s hands are clean in Israel’s strike, one consequence of it now has Iran cutting off drone sales to Russia, because they need them to attack Israel. So in one move Israel has cut the Houthi terror pipeline, yet again severely crimped Iran’s nuclear ambitions (as if exploding nuclear scientists and Stuxnet viruses weren’t enough), and taken some heat off Ukraine – supposedly by accident.

That’s what diplomats and the E-ring at the Pentagon call a hat trick.

I repeat: interesting, veddy interesting, wouldn’t you say?

Update to the updated update! Okay, via Stephen, this is beginning to look seriouser and seriouser. In a manner of speaking.

President Donald Trump continues to state that the American military will not be joining the conflict, despite Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s requests to do so.

That said, Teddy Roosevelt famously advised “Speak softly and carry a big stick,” and, right now, Uncle Sam seems to be crafting a mighty big stick within striking distance of Iran:

Item: There are now three aircraft carriers (two American, one British) taking positions within striking distance of Iran…

Item: “A major military airlift appears to now be underway, as an unprecedented number of U.S. Air Force KC-135 and KC-46 Aerial-Refueling Tankers have departed from airbases across the United States and appear to be preparing to cross the Atlantic towards Europe.”

Item: Multiple B-2s are already believe to be stationed at Diego Garcia, well within strike distance of Iran for the B-2 (though it might need refueling on the return trip).

Maybe all that movement is indeed just to give President Trump “options” should the Iranians try something crazy. But if I had to guess, it seems like the groundwork for some sort of planned operation is being laid.

It may be that President Trump thinks that the mullah’s current prostrate and distracted status may be the perfect time to settle the Houthi’s hash. Having already attacked American navy ships (absolute casus belli under international law), the time may be ripe to finally dismantle the Houthi threat.

Having for many years advocated loud and long for a once-and-for-all settling of jihadi hash, then turning on a dime to cheer Trump’s “no more endless foreign wars” campaign plank, I can’t honestly say I’m entirely comfortable objecting to these moves now. I’d make a piss-poor pacifist, I suppose.

Updates, forsooth! Francis’s take on the matter.

Israel is doing what it must, and here are the reasons.

A nation that possesses weapons of mass destruction and delivery systems that can wield them at long range acquires responsibilities along with those things. One of those responsibilities pertains to its rhetoric. Its rulers’ statements must be taken with full seriousness, especially their threats. Nation X must regard a threat from nation Y as equivalent to an actual attack. This was a component of American strategic doctrine for many decades.

The theocrats who rule Iran have said many times that, were Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon and an appropriate delivery system, it would thereby acquire an obligation to use it against Israel as soon as possible. Israel’s government must assume that that statement is sincere. Though the phrase existential threat is used too loosely these days, it applies here.

Israel’s intelligence service is one of the best in the world. If Aman’s and Mossad’s analysts are convinced that Iran is on the brink of acquiring a nuclear weapon, the odds are overwhelming that it is so. In that case, Israel is compelled to act, as indeed it has.

Note that the actual identity of the threat-making nation is of little consequence. If any other nuclear power were to make such a threat, the gravity of it would be the same, though Israel’s response would surely vary according to the threat-maker’s location and capabilities. Threats to use weapons of mass destruction must always be treated as sincere.

As for the possible involvement of the United States, the matter is similar though not existential. Iran has threatened to strike American military assets in “retaliation” for Israel’s strikes against Iran. Ignore the lunacy of it. If it happens, America will be compelled to act, but until then, staying out of the conflict is the expected posture, and probably the best.

For all else, we must wait and see.

That’s about the size of it, yeah. Seems to me we’re pretty fortunate to have, in Binyamin Netanyahu’s government, an Israeli leadership intelligent enough, competent enough, awake enough to the threat Iran is to Western Civ entire that we can confidently back Bibi’s play here without suffering a lot of undue angst and/or agita over it.

Anybody old enough to remember this moldie oldie, from back in the bad old Hostage Crisis days?

Yeah, yeah, I know, not one of my all-time great embeds. But still.

Tulsi stumbles

Posted on June 12, 2025June 12, 2025 by Mike

WTAF, Miz G?

What the Hell Was That Tulsi Gabbard Video About?
Let’s talk about nuclear war, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s weird video about nuclear war.

AWWWW! Do we HAVE to, Uncle Steve? JEEZ….

Gabbard got raked over the coals by right-leaning critics, some conflating her remarks with an historically illiterate apology for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Noah Rothman was one of several who accused her of “all but endors[ing] Barack Obama’s revisionist and ahistorical account of the end of the Second World War,” although I didn’t hear anything like that.

But that’s not to say that Gabbard’s video wasn’t at the very least odd.

At one point, Gabbard claimed that our “political elite and warmongers” are fomenting global thermonuclear war “because they are confident that they will have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families that regular people won’t have access to.”

They still have to come out sometime. Real life isn’t an episode of “Fallout.”

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) — no RINO squish — quipped, “She obviously needs to change her meds,” and I’m inclined to agree.

I’m not the biggest fan of Gabbard on policy — she was strangely buddy-buddy on several occasions with Syria’s Bashar al-Assad and sometimes comes across as a Putin apologist. But I understand Trump’s desire, the nation’s need, and Gabbard’s ability to shake up the D.C. intel community.

But none of that explains the general weirdness on display here.

Curiously, when Trump met this weekend at Camp David to discuss Iran and Gaza strategy with his “top team,” including “Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, chief of staff Susie Wiles, special envoy Steve Witkoff, CIA director John Ratcliffe and other senior officials,” Gabbard was not in attendance.

There’s also the question of why the president’s DNI would make a campaign-style video.

Is she on her way out — of her own accord or not? I won’t pretend to even have a guess.

Nor will I. Tulsi Gabbard has long walked a very different path than most any other American ProPol you could name, for which habit I’ve always liked more than disliked her. As a confirmed off-the-beaten-track weirdo myself for my whole life, how could it be otherwise? Long as your personal “freak flag” doesn’t involve pedophilia, necrophilia, or bestiality; promoting mental dysfunction by insisting everyone endorse your delusional notion that, in your own head, you are not in fact the biological sex you so clearly are; suppression of others’ right to freedom of expression by means of intimidation and/or violence; shitting in the streets; and any and every other traducement of a free man’s God-given rights as enumerated in the US Constitution, you just go right ahead and let that freak flag of your’n fly, ain’t gonna catch no grief from this ol’ boy about it.

Who the hell even knows what’s going on in the lady’s pretty head this time, but looking at the bigger overall picture we’ve seen of Gabbard, her instincts, and her inclinations, I’m willing to overlook a little weirdness now and then. Certainly, she’s utterly loyal to the Bossman who put her where she is now—more loyal than she’ll ever be to any collectivist ideology; the criminal organization masquerading as a political party pimping it; or the nefarious, sub-rosa skullduggery by which Team Stalin hopes to ram their agenda down Real American throats, whether they will or they nil.

On the other hand, one thing we’ve all learned on the PDQ about President Donald John Trump v2.0 this time out: he sure knows how to keep ‘em guessing, don’t he? The man’s got a real gift for putting absolutely everybody—be they friend, foe, or disinterested passerby—on the back foot and seeing to it that they stay that way for as long as he needs ’em to be, as my dear old Grampa used to say. Going all the way back to the 2016 campaign, every time you heard yet another pinhead press “corpseman” griping about OMB’s roundabout, meandering way of speaking, how nobody could ever seem to pin The Donald down and force a straightforward, direct answer from him regarding any topic at all—ZOMG what is WRONG with you people can’t you fucking see he is just so stupid stupid stupid he can’t even utter coherent sentences in correct English, he’s soooooo stupid!!!—it was always my belief that what we were really looking at was Trump maneuvering the pasty, officious dweeb into his patented Figure Four Leg Lock (Rhetorical), only the poor victim wasn’t bright enough to realize he’d just been made a fool of by the better, smarter, more wily man.

AGAIN, I mean.

Your obligatory “Show more” end run:

BREAKING: Secretary Kristi Noem fires back at Democrat Senator Alex Padilla — who’s now claiming mistreatment after storming a DHS press conference.

“I think his statement is actually ridiculous.”

She laid out exactly what happened from her perspective.

“This man burst into a room, started advancing towards the podium, interrupting an opening statement, elevating his voice, shouting questions.”

“People tried to stop him from interrupting the press conference, he refused and continued to lunge towards the podium and that is when he was removed from the room.”

Then came the reality check:

“So the way that he acted was completely inappropriate.”

“It wasn’t becoming of a U.S. Senator or a public official and perhaps he wanted the scene and that’s what he wanted.”

The rest of country is tired of these charades:

“But I think the American people are sick of this action.”

“I think the American people are tired of this, they just want the truth and they want to know it’s happening and that’s what we were trying to provide.”

Just remember: anyone attempting to govern against the will of the D卐M☭CRATs will pay a heavy price for their balls-out impudence.

“Little Marco” Rubio: another more or less run of the mill, MOR Repugnicrat who suddenly found he had hisself a pair of heavy, clanking Big Brass Ones© swingin’ after taking a cabinet position in the Trump v2.0 admin.

MUST WATCH: Rubio Makes Van Hollen Look Like a Fool During Senate Hearing
Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on Tuesday morning. According to the State Department, he was there to discuss the FY26 Department of State Budget Request. Having watched most of the hearing myself, I think he was just there to have old white people and Cory Booker act like condescending jerks.

A few things stood out. One, some of these senators are incredibly ignorant about the way the world works outside of the United States and don’t need to be on any committee related to foreign policy. Two, Rubio is a thousand times smarter than most of these people put together — if it wasn’t so satisfying to watch, I’d be suffering from secondhand embarrassment for some of these senators after watching the secretary wipe the smug smiles off their faces with his facts and inability to be shaken.

But the exchange that stood out the most was the one between Rubio and Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) — you know, the senator whom no one knew existed until he boarded a flight to El Salvador to wine and dine a human trafficker, wife-beater, and gang banger.

Rather than use his time to actually ask Rubio questions — even crazy Tim Kaine managed to actually do that — Van Hollen spent seven minutes berating the Secretary on everything from USAID to revoking visas from students with ties to terrorism and, of course, his favorite topic: Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

He even attacked Rubio personally. “I have to tell you directly and personally that I regret voting for you as Secretary of State,” he said at the end of his remarks.

Rubio — after asking committee chairman Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) if he could respond, given that Van Hollen never actually asked a question — didn’t miss a beat. “Your regret voting for me confirms I’m doing a good job.”

Good as that is, it gets even better from there, if you can believe it. Marco Rubio is probably the last guy in the world I ever thought I’d say this about—meek, soft-spoken, and diffident as he’s always come across—but whatever he may or may not have been before, clearly Rejuve Rubio ain’t about to take a nickel’s worth of shit from anybody now, much less a slithering Swamp critter like Chris “Bend Me Over & Make Me Love It, Nancy” Van Hollen (D-Rumpswab). Who knew? Rubio went from “polite, pliable, pushover” to “full-bore firebrand, stay back from cage 20 ft” in zero (0) seconds flat.

Basically, then, this Van Hollen dimbulb made the classic rookie error of bringing a knife to a gunfight, whereupon “Little Marco” wasted not a single moment before implementing the appropriate countermeasures upside CVH’s punkin’ haid, to the delight of rubbernecking loafers, passersby, idlers, and avid, season ticket-holding fans of Team MAGA!™ alike. Well done, Secretary Rubio sir, well done indeed.

Our old blog-bud Ken Layne has posted the coolest friggin’ GIF you’re ever gonna see; hopefully it’ll work properly over here as well, although if it doesn’t, don’t hate me ‘cause I’m beautiful, y’all. If not, you can always check out the original here, number 5.

*Send in the clowns, there ought to be clowns*

Now THAT’s what I call a RODEO, bubba!

Update! Nope, no joy, looks like; just a static image instead of an auto-repeating animation like it’s s’posed to be. Ah well, go check it out at Ken’s joint, you’ll be glad you did.

It’s…it’s…it’s…YELLOW!

Posted on April 16, 2025April 16, 2025 by Mike

Yellow Blaze Metallic, to be precise—a custom-order Ford color available only, best I can determine, for like one (1) model year. That’s the color sported by my pride and joy, my li’l baby doll: my precious 2012 Ford Focus SEL, which jewel o’ my heart has been sitting dead as the nails in Vincent Price’s coffin at my lifelong friend and musical partner in crime Brack’s place since its timing chain shit the bed a few years back. As of yesterday morning, thanks to Brack’s brother Stan, my poor neglected baby has come home at last.

FocusBackHome 1.

Don’t she look purty, even after sitting all forlorn out in the weather, dust, and pollen for 4-5 years? Lots to do yet to atone for my heartless abandonment of her, which project I will be certainly be getting started on right away, me and whatever friends I can get down here to lend a hand. But, to paraphrase Scarlett O’Hara, as God is my witness, she’ll never be lonely again!!

Apart from the occasional Focus update, expect blogging to suffer accordingly, natch.

Muzzietown, TX: threat, or menace?

Posted on April 15, 2025April 15, 2025 by Mike

The slow, steady takeover everybody swore “could never happen here” continues apace. Thankfully, Greg Abbott seems committed to thwarting it.

Jihad, Texas Style
The Lone Star State braces for a new “Muslim community.”

It’s happened all over Western Europe. In Amsterdam, several neighborhoods, including the Oud-West, De Pijp, and De Baarsjes, are now heavily Muslim. So are Molenbeek, a Brussels suburb, and Gruddalen, the vast valley that forms much of the eastern half of Oslo. Four out of ten people in Tower Hamlets, London, are Muslims, as is nearly thirty-five percent of the population of Luton. Several of the banlieues, or suburbs, of Paris are no-go zones; Marseille is about one-third Islam. The Rinkeby district of Stockholm is heavily Muslim, as are parts of Malmö, not to mention the Nørrebro neighborhood of Copenhagen.

Yes, there are non-Muslim residents in these neighborhoods, but their numbers are steadily dwindling. They live in an ever-intensifying state of siege. It’s dangerous for them to come home at night. At school, their sons are beaten up and their daughters are sexually harassed. Every day, they’re reminded who’s in charge, and it’s definitely not them. More than many other people in Europe, they can see the continent’s future very clearly. Needless to say, it’s an Islamic future.

Which, obviously, is the reason those non-Moslem (former) residents’ numbers are “steadily dwindling.” Unfortunately, this ain’t the kind of problem from which one can just run away forever. Regardless of how fast, how far, or how long you run, the menacing Moslem hordes will catch up with you ere the end. The lesson here is stark, and likewise altogether obvious. Too bad, then, that most of Western Civ is so mulishly determined to ignore it. Such wilfull obliviousness will cost the West dearly at some point, probably sooner than later, and paying up is going to hurt.

Which is why we should all be worried about EPIC City, Texas. I’d never heard of it until just a few weeks ago. Since then, I’ve heard about it again and again. Maybe the word hasn’t gotten to you yet. If not, here you go. EPIC City, according to an April 3 report by Caroline Vandergriff of CBS News, is a proposed “Muslim community” that is a project of the East Plano Islamic Center (hence the name EPIC) in partnership with a real-estate firm called Community Capital Partners. The plan is to construct “a thousand homes, a mosque, apartments, a school and more” on 402 acres in Collin and Hunt counties near the town of Josephine, about an hour northeast of Dallas.

Since the initiative was announced last year, the leaders of the Islamic Center have hired Dan Cogdell, a leading Houston lawyer, “to help them navigate multiple state investigations” that were ordered by Governor Greg Abbott. In reaction to Abbott’s criticism of the EPIC City venture, Cogdell told Vandergraff that his clients “aren’t foreign adversaries” but “Texans.” “Americans.” “United States citizens.” And their only goal, he contended, “is to build a community that allows them to live together with people who value family and faith.”

Yes, that’s what they want to do – but it’s not all that they want to do. They want to do Molenbeek and Tower Hamlets and Groruddalen one better. They want the total Muslim experience: no kafirun (infidels) with their uncovered wives and daughters and haram puppy dogs. If you wanted to defend EPIC City, you might point to the way in which the Amish settled Lancaster, Pennsylvania, or the Mormons’ establishment of Utah. But neither the Amish nor the Mormons have a doctrine of jihadist conquest. They aren’t instructed to despise non-believers or throw homosexuals from rooftops. Their sexual politics may be old-fashioned, but they’re light-years more advanced than Islam’s.

At least one Texan realizes this. In addition to ordering investigations into the shadowy characters involved in the EPIC City venture, Abbott has demanded a construction halt, but has been ignored. Dismissing Abbott’s expressed concern about the possible imposition of sharia law in EPIC City, Cogdell told Vandergraff: “No one associated with that community follows sharia law or is in favor of sharia law.” Nonsense. One survey of Western Muslims after another has shown that an unsettling majority of them want to live under sharia law – and expect to be living under it before too long. The goal of broadening the ambit of sharia law, after all, is a major reason why millions of Muslims moved from their native lands to the West in the first place. It’s called expanding the umma. It’s called turning the Dar al Harb (House of War) into the Dar as Islam (House of Islam), one block at a time. And lying about it to infidels is called taqiyya.

Which last, according to the Koran (yes, I HAVE read it; more than once, actually), is not only pardonable but strongly, explicitly recommended. In fact, in practical terms it’s obligatory, a directive issued from the very mouth of Allah His Own Bad Self—never to be contradicted, never to be questioned, only to be reflexively, mindlessly obeyed, just as the Religion of Peace Submission demands of the pig-ignorant 10th-century throwbacks who hew to it.

Which just goes to show how much even rural Texans need to learn about Islam. Well, if the EPIC City initiative isn’t stopped in its tracks, they’ll be learning a great deal about it soon enough.

They most certainly will at that—more than they ever wanted to, to their everlasting sorrow and regret. You’d think they’d know better by now—you’d think we ALL would. And yet.

All this après-9/11/01 stuff and nonsense, mind, deep in the heart of the once-great Republic ofTEXAS, of all unlikely places? The sovereign State a great many of us ReichWingNaziDeathBeast types looked to as our last-ditch refuge when the fecal matter finally impacts the rotary impeller everyplace else? Jeez O PETE, man! That just might be the toughest, most bitter-tasting aspect of this ginormous shit-circus to wrap one’s head around.

For so long, so many of us have found it comforting to think of good ol’ Texizz as the last bastion of traditional American sanity, civic mores, and freedom—that, despite the slow, sinister purpling of major Texas cities like Dallas, Austin, Houston, and others, Real American Normals would always have Texas, come Hell or high water. Wouldn’t we? Of COURSE we would! Why, some of us even went so far as to buy great big ol’ belt buckles, Stetson hats, and uncomfortable, exorbitantly expensive cockroach-stomper boots to ready ourselves for the frabjous day we’d at last make that Last Big Move South’ards.

And then some shit like this happens.

Read the whole thing, I implore you. It’s about as disquieting a piece as I ever have seen, anyplace, at any time, on any topic. Uncomfortable reading though it surely is, it tells us that it is now imperative that the last remaining illusions be shattered, that the last remaining veils be lifted from the eyes which stubbornly refuse to look upon the situation as it really, truly exists: clearly, unblinkingly, honestly. If nothing else, we owe that much (at least!) to ourselves, to our Founding Fathers, to our posterity.

As for this sellout asshole Cogdell and his fellow slimery, slithery creatures who support this mind-boggling obscenity, every man Jack of them ought to be summarily strung up for high treason. Unless somebody out there comes up with something even worse to do to his/their sorry ass(es) in the interim, that is. I’m thinking something agonizing; permanently scarring both mentally and bodily; life-altering in the most negative way imaginable; profoundly, unforgettably humiliating; and, eventually—after interminable years of suffering so wrackingly intense that very few Normals who’ve never had to cope with…

A thunderous, all-day artillery barrage—no pause, no let-up, no lunch break, just honkin’ big shells that continuously droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven
A deep-jungle ambush set by a dedicated, skilled enemy which hopelessly, lopsidedly outnumbers him
A furiously chaotic company-level engagement at eyeball-to-eyeball range
Having a ship torpedoed, holed, and sunk out from under his very feet in a North Atlantic January
Saturation bombing from extreme-high altitude
Sniper fire from multiple positions, all undeterminable
Stomach cancer
Anaesthetic-free amateur dentistry

…could believe it was even possible—fatal.

Update! Apropos of nothing much a-tall, I just had to note that weird spelling, kafirun, from the excerpt. In all my many years of studying up on Mooselimbs and the Islamic pseudo-religion—beginning way back in college with two (2) semesters of Comparative Religion I took for no better reason than A) I found the subject interesting and B) I was a huge fan of the professor, who was an affable nut—I never did run across that one before. The more familiar-to-me rendition is kuffir, or khufir, or something else along roughly similar lines. Translation can often be a tricky thing, particularly from Arabic languages (as with Chinese, Greek, and Cyrillic, it’s a whole ’nother alphabet entirely, not even slightly congruent with English) but this’s a new one on me for sure.

Mal’s Soliloquy

Posted on April 14, 2025April 14, 2025 by Mike

Brilliant speech, from a truly brilliant movie.

Transcription of the critical passage.

This report is maybe 12 years old. Parliament buried it, and it stayed buried ’til River dug it up.

This is what they feared she knew. And they were right to fear ’cause there’s a whole universe of folk who’re gonna know it, too. They’re gonna see it.

Somebody has to speak for these people.

Y’all got on this boat for different reasons, but y’all come to the same place. So now I’m askin’ more of you than I have before. Maybe all.

As sure as I know anything, I know this: They will try again. Maybe on another world. Maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, 10, they’ll swing back to the belief that they can make people…better. And I do not hold to that.

So no more runnin’.

I aim to misbehave.

Scariest, most disturbing bit in bold (mine, natch), which sounds altogether too familiar nowadays. Then again, the entire thing does, when you think about it. It isn’t prophetic or foresighted so much as it is simply observational—a tidy, concise summation of the liberal mindset, that’s all. Even scarier yet? The Firefly/Serenity saga is set in the early 26th century. Guess with shitlibs, certain things really ARE eternal, and/or immutable.

Firefly; Serenity; CAPT Malcolm Reynolds; the rest of the intrepid Firefly crew; the marvelously quirky, ear-catching dialogue (always struck me as pretty dang cool, how the Mother Tongue changed and evolved betwixt now and 2516; my first round of watching the TV show on DVD, I found myself needing to pay closer-than-usual attention when the characters were speaking or it would get by me altogether); the freewheeling philosophy of uncompromising liberty, independence, and individual self-determination which underpins the whole kit and kaboodle—all born of the creative genius, febrile mind, and artistic vision of Joss Whedon. The show and the movie both are bona fide gems: a stunning achievement of writing, casting, acting, SFX, and staging that would do even the most high-minded, talented dramatist proud indeed.

So can someone explain to me, then, just how it is that Whedon is nevertheless such a dyed in the wool, conventional-thinking liberal, please? Because quite frankly, I’m having big, big trouble getting that math to add up. I gotta confess I’ve always stunk out loud at math, so could be it’s just me, I dunno.

In any event, I mean, seriously now, you guys: the passage in bold above, and the standard-issue, Mark 1-Mod 0 Left/liberal flapdoodle approvingly, even mawkishly, cited at the above-linked Mother Jones (*shudder*) article/interview/fellatio-rama—all coming out of the SAME FUCKING MOUTH? RILLY?!?

I just don’t get it. Not all that sure I want to, to be perfectly honest. Greatly to his credit and in marked contrast with the dismal example set by his peers, Whedon doesn’t for a single second allow his mundane, wet-brained political beliefs to impinge on the Firefly and Serenity viewing experience. One can kick back, relax, and immerse oneself completely in the thrills, chills, and pleasures of the Firefly universe without ever once having to dread that you’re gonna be preached to at some point.

This, even though the character of preacherman Shepherd Book provides Whedon with what might easily be considered a purpose-built opportunity to ascend the pulpit and start in sermonizing. But no, nothing of the sort. Book spends most of his onscreen time questioning himself and his own wobble-legged faith rather than hectoring others about their own, although he does offer spiritual and/or moral advice to anyone who ask for such—carefully, thoughtfully, without passing judgment or scorning the foibles of his shipmates. Humble, questing, open-hearted, warm, a people-person if ever there was one—I always felt that Shepherd Book was one of the most appealing, engaging, and intriguing characters in a cast absolutely chock-full of ‘em.

So hats off to Joss Whedon for leashing the near-universal liberal bent towards proselytizing, if nothing else. As a professed congregant of the Left/liberal/Progressivist flock with a worldwide audience that’s bigger than most, rejecting such a powerful temptation must have been almost physically painful.

Forget, hell!

Unreconstructed Southron Baron Bodissey reports—with pitchers—on the ceremony commemorating the anniversary of the Appomattox tragedy/disaster.

Appomattox: Lest We Forget
This afternoon I attended a ceremony marking the 160th anniversary of the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia (which I often sardonically refer to as “the Confederate Nakba”). It was organized by the Appomattox chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and took place at the Confederate Cemetery in the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park. The cemetery itself is on a plot of land that isn’t part of the historical park, and is owned by the UDC rather than the federal government. As a result, at that location we unreconstructed Confederates can engage in our customary activities without being busted for hate speech or otherwise interfered with.

The occasion began with a prayer. We then pledged allegiance to all three flags: the US flag, the Virginia flag, and the Confederate battle flag. Yes, I know some of those pledges are mutually exclusive, but nobody seems to care.

Speak for yourself on that one, young feller. Anyhoo. Onwards.

Following that there were a few brief speeches, several songs, and some reading of poetry. UDC members in widow’s weeds placed a rose by each grave, and two little girls set up battle flags next to each headstone. There are nineteen soldiers buried in the cemetery, all but seven of them unknown, including a solitary Union soldier (who got the Stars and Stripes next to his headstone).

Fuckin’ bluebellied Yankee sumbitch. Anyhoo. Onwards.

Then a number of wreaths were presented and placed next to the memorial stone by representatives of the groups that donated them, mostly chapters of the UDC or camps of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV). Not all of the groups were local: one of the SCV camps that presented a wreath was based in Honolulu, Hawaii.

All in all, it was an excellent occasion. It was a reminder — at least for me — that the Confederate battle flag is not about slavery or tariffs or even states’ rights, but rather a symbol of resistance to tyranny, and a reminder that Virginia was invaded and devastated by an alien army.

Deo Vindice!

That penultimate paragraph pretty much says it all, far as I’m concerned.

Hey, Nutflix, leave Aslan alone!

Posted on April 10, 2025 by Mike

My God, there really isn’t anything whatsoever they won’t stand on its head and try to make a traveshamockery out of, is there?

Through a Wardrobe Dimly: Netflix’s Narnia Reboot
So last week, the word was out that Netflix is playing host to a reboot of “The Chronicles of Narnia.” On top of that, talks are apparently in the works to have none other than Meryl Streep voice Aslan. Yes, they are coming for Narnia in the same way they came for “Star Wars” and “The Lord of the Rings.” A galaxy far, far, away is not safe, nor is Middle Earth; why should Narnia be sacrosanct?

Deadline reports:

In the novels, Aslan is a talking lion who serves as Narnia’s guardian and a guide for the human children. Generally portrayed as a male, Aslan was created as an allegory for Jesus by author C.S. Lewis.

However, in “The Chronicles of Narnia,” Aslan is not merely an allegory for Christ. Lewis was quite clear that Aslan was Christ as he would have manifested himself to the inhabitants of Narnia. The biblical parallels are unavoidable with a respectful and thoughtful reading of the books, as they were meant to be.

To wit: in “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” we have this quote, “I am [in your world].’ said Aslan. ‘But there, I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.”

It is plausible that the producers of the reboot see Aslan as nothing more than an interesting main character in a fantasy series and thus have no compunctions about playing fast and loose with his gender. It is equally plausible (and altogether likely) that the producers are well aware of the intentional Christianity of the Narnia series and Aslan’s true identity and have taken it upon themselves to decolonize, deconstruct, and reassemble Narnia into something less Christian and more to their liking. Rebooting Aslan is another clandestine attempt at rebooting Christ.

As Fate would have it, I’ve recently been re-reading The Chronicles of Narnia for the umpty-leventh time, and enjoying Lewis’ inspired magnum opus trememdously; it’s been too many years since I last checked in on Polly, Diggory, wicked Uncle Andrew, King Peter, Queen Susan, Prince Caspian, Mr Tumnus, and the rest of the gang. Frankly, the only thing I find at all surprising about Nutflix’s latest attempt to shit in its own hat is that they didn’t go out and find themselves a Neegrow lesbian Transgender of Color rather than moldy-oldy White-bread broad Streep to voice Aslan, so as to offend, dismay, and just plain piss off as many Xtianist, binary, sane Normals as humanly possible.

Trump’s got yer pronouns

Posted on April 10, 2025April 10, 2025 by Mike

Swingin’, mothafuckizz.

White House Uses Reporters’ Pronouns, Just Not the Way They Intended
There’s something deeply satisfying about watching the left’s cherished ideological markers being used against them. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is giving the mainstream media a taste of their own medicine, and it’s absolutely glorious.

In a delicious development, the Trump White House press office is flat-out refusing to respond to reporters who display their pronouns in email signatures.

Heck, yes. I love it.

As do I. But the alluring Ms Leavitt has her reasons, and as you’d expect they’re well-thought out, logical, and eminently reasonable.

This isn’t just some arbitrary policy. It’s a brilliant statement about truth and reality in journalism.

When confronted about this practice, Leavitt delivered a devastating response: “Any reporter who chooses to put their preferred pronouns in their bio clearly does not care about biological reality or truth and therefore cannot be trusted to write an honest story.”

Fact check: True.

Indeed so. In fact, I’d go a bit further than that: “Any reporter who chooses to put their preferred pronouns in their bio” clearly is a fanatical ideological enemy of this President, his adminstration, the American people, and the United States of America itself. That being so (and it is), who gives a fat rat’s ass what such a one thinks—about anything at all? Ever?

A REAL stinker

Posted on April 7, 2025 by Mike

Hey, there’s a reason I’ve been calling the disgusting toad “Jabba the Senator” for quite a few years now. But even so, I had no idea, really.

This was posted today on freebeacon.com – Longtime New York congressman Jerry Nadler has become famous as a champion of progressive policies in the House of Representatives. But among his colleagues in the chamber, he has also earned the dubious distinction of being its smelliest member.

“He’s the kind of guy who when he makes his way onto the floor he barrels through everyone, and sometime he doesn’t really need to barrel through because his stench kind of clears the way and it equates to his personality, which is nasty and most people want to keep away from,” said Anthony D’Esposito, a former GOP congressman from Long Island recently named inspector general of the Department of Labor.

A half dozen of Nadler’s current and former colleagues—on both sides of the aisle—were even more savage behind the scenes, pooh-poohing the New York liberal. One House Democrat said he wasn’t just rancid but also frequently out of it.

“Members of Congress don’t want to sit next to him because of it,” the House Democrat told the Washington Free Beacon. “Yeah, he smells. I don’t know what he does. Maybe he doesn’t take a bath, I don’t know what it is.”

Ah, but I do. And so do you, if we’re being honest here.
