Losing more slowly with the Stupid Party

Jumping the gun

Posted on      by     

Trump has surely accomplished some remarkable things in his first three weeks in office, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, mmmkay? That way lies complacency, and as we all should know quite well by now, complacency is death.


Via Stephen, who quips: “Take the side of the IRS, Dems.” Heh. Indeed.

Update! See what I’m talking about?

Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump order restricting trans care for youths
President Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order last month that sought to further restrict access to gender-affirming medical care for those younger than 19.

A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to restrict transgender health care for anyone under 19.

Judge Brendan Hurson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland was skeptical of the government’s argument that the order is not a nationwide ban on care, but rather a “general policy directive” and that the plaintiffs — who are trans teens and young adults whose care has been affected by the order — must wait to sue. 

“In this situation, it is clear that these plaintiffs have received phone calls stopping their care, stopping their appointments, stopping their everything,” Hurson said during the hearing Thursday, adding that hospitals stopped care because of the order, which also seeks to prohibit federal funding of transition-related care for minors.  

“I don’t know how you can credibly argue that this is not demanding the cessation of funding for gender affirming care,” he said.

Joshua Block, senior staff attorney for the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project who represented the plaintiffs, said the executive order had “sown fear among transgender youth and confusion among their providers.”

“Today’s decision should restore both their access to healthcare and protections under the Constitution,” Block said in a statement. “Providers who’ve suspended healthcare for their transgender patients should be left with no doubt that they can lift those suspensions and continue to provide healthcare and act in their best medical judgment without risking their funding or worse.”

C’mon, man, surely you must remember the unalienable “transgender” “right” to “health care” specifically enshrined in the US Constitution, don’tcha? It’s right there in black and white for all to see, in Article…ummm, something-something, Section I forget right now, Paragraph mumble-mumble a-HENH!

Possibly the most entertaining part of the ongoing shitlib hissy-fit has been watching the frantic moonbats pretzel themselves logically in an attempt to deploy a Constitution they have long despised, denounced, and dismissed as antiquated and therefore irrelevant, so as to summon “emanations and penumbras” in support of phantasmagorical rights and freedoms that exist nowhere but in their diseased minds.

Be all that as it may, however, this is by no means the first roadblock set down before the restorative MAGA agenda by a power-drunk, overreaching “hack in black” Leftist judge, nor will it be the last. As such, although the President and his intrepid crew (SEND IN BIG BALLS!!!) are relentlessly advancing us along the road to final victory, apart from the 24 election itself we haven’t actually won a damned thing as of yet. It’s never been more crucial that we all take to heart Bedford Forrest’s sage advice to LT Morton: Get ‘em skeered, and keep the skeer on ‘em.

Updated update! Picked this one up over at WRSA a few days ago but haven’t gotten around to using it yet. In light of all of the above, there probably won’t ever be a more perfect time or place than right here, right now.

Not to be overly pessimistic or a Debbie Downer or an Eeyore or anything, but the sentiment definitely bears remembering.

MOAR fun with Big Balls

As the CNN Libtards continue to lapse into conniption fits, Elon continues to have WAAAAYYY too much fun with this.


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

Only a “contender,” WL? The reigning undisputed champeen, I’d say.


For his part, Musk is obviously enjoying himself.


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

Die, DEI

Posted on      by     

Righting yet another decades-old shitlib wrong.

As Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said nearly two decades ago, “The way to stop discriminating based on race is to stop discriminating based on race.” President Donald Trump’s sweeping order shuttering every federal office related to DEI — diversity, equity and inclusion — and signaling a decision to lay off staffers who worked there is an overdue step toward that goal.

Oh, it could have been done with more finesse. The effort needed to include language telling minority workers in and out of the federal government that they remain valued. But Donald doesn’t do nuance.

Nor should he. When a given situation has deteriorated so badly that properly addressing it requires wielding a BFH (ie, Big Fucking Hammer), as is the case here and now, nuance is much more harmful than helpful. That being so, it not only should but indeed MUST be discarded. When circumstances call for a bull-in-the-china-shop approach, soft voices, politesse, restraint, and yes, nuance are of no use whatsoever. Goldwater expressed it best with his straight-to-the-point “moderation is no virtue, extremism is no vice” formulation.

Trump’s decision has been met with the usual howls from the civil rights community. NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson wrote in a statement:

“It is outrageous that the President is rolling back critical Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. DEI programs help ensure that everyone can prosper. It’s clear that President Trump does not value equal opportunity.

“His appalling executive order will only worsen America’s racial hierarchy and benefit the oligarch class. This executive order threatens public services that benefit all Americans; it’s an attempt to consolidate power and money to a few wealthy individuals. And poor and working-class people will pay the price.”

Johnson has the insidious and divisive nature of DEI exactly backward. DEI has no impact on the oligarch class. Elon Musk doesn’t have to worry about whether he is being fairly considered for a job or a contract because of his race. Poor and working-class white people bear the costs of DEI — and it is that cost of quotas, set-asides and minority-only programs and spaces that divide the working class into racial blocs.

And Johnson’s complaints would have been just as apoplectic if Trump’s order were more measured and included all the nuance reasonable people would want. Because the civil rights-industrial complex doesn’t do nuance either, no amount of moderation and good intentions protects a Republican from accusations of the -isms and -obias.

The LGBTQ advocacy group the Human Rights Campaign released a statement saying: “Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect in all areas of their lives. No one should be subjected to ongoing discrimination, harassment and humiliation where they work, go to school, or access healthcare.”

Tell that to the men and women at the worker bee level who have had their fill of the DEI industry’s product in mandatory trainings on microaggressions, the idea that the most minor of insensitivity is part of a larger systemic oppression that must equally systemically be curtailed. The hyper-sensitivity that DEI engenders fuels division on racial and other lines while making common American ideals such as the immigration “melting pot” into sources of animus.

Being forced into training that contradicts closely held ideals and targets members of the majority based on their race and sexual orientation is “discrimination, harassment and humiliation” where we work and go to school.

Ahhh, but that’s perfectly okay, see. White people, having been summarily declared guilty of racism, bigotry, misogyny, and homo/transphobia by TPTB, deserve to be systemically discriminated against, harassed, and humiliated.

We’re back, baybeeee!

The concealed core of the Deep State itself

Looks as if Trump, Musk, and Co have tripped ass-backwards over the Überstadt motherlode.

DOGE and the budget audit of doom
the commanding heights of the unravelling to come

meet the new boss, nothing whatsoever like the old boss.

not this time. maybe never again.

welcome to “dismantle leviathan” the fun new game that all the cool kids are playing.

i warned you about how these people were not going to act like the gormless opposition party of old. they will understand the system better than you do. and they’re going to tear it down.

DC is finally starting to see how much trouble it is in and people are freaking out. the moves are coming too fast for the news cycle to even keep up with. and DC has mostly already lost. all the high ground has been taken and now it’s just going to be about squeezing.

DOGE grabbed the OMB and the treasury payments system.

that’s it. lights out, game over.

from ukraine to climate science to NIH to 100 different agencies like USAID, money is being funneled everywhere and stolen in wholesale quantities.

USAID and who knows who else were all out meddling for decades in foreign elections. they have probably been meddling in ours.

suddenly, these agencies are losing their minds about “declassification efforts.”

it certainly does make on wonder: why were they classifying anything at all? wasn’t this supposed to be aid?

and DC is finally realizing how much trouble they are in and leviathan is shrilling in terror and rage, but it’s already way too late.

threads are exposed, they will be pulled, and this is going to, for the first time in generations, tear the covers off these boxes and let us see what’s inside. and it’s not gonna be pretty friends. i’m telling you point blank: however bad you fear this was – it’s worse.

the middle of the american overton is about to see that government is 80% money laundering and unaccountable tyranny and theft by weight.

More, much more at the link, every word of it seriously edifying reading. The predicament now being screeched about by scabrous vermin like Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, et al reminds me strongly of a fine old Dead Boys tune.

If, as has been said so very many times, the D卐M☭CRAT Party is in actual fact a criminal organization masquerading as a political party (PRO TIP: it is), then FederalGovCo itself is the officially-sanctioned analog of La Cosa Nostra, only one step higher up on the Big Government ladder, with more fingers in bigger pies grubbing for ever-greater power, wealth, and authority.

What fun it’s been since Jan 20, watching Trump and his wrecking crew turn over the Deep State rocks one after another and seeing the cockroaches underneath crawl for their very lives in abject terror of the simple, cleansing light of day.

Don’t look now, but Hegseth just did it again

Posted on      by     

He speaks nothing but the plain and simple truth, time after time after time, and it drives The Enemy into raging, frothy-mouthed frenzy. Predictable as the sunrise, sure, but it’s still just funny as all git-out.

Mere days into the job, Pete Hegseth has already impressed me as Secretary of Defense. 

Under the Biden administration, wokeness was prioritized over military readiness, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s remarks concerning Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) signal a refreshing shift back to meritocracy, unity, and lethality in our military. During his appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” he was asked about the changes being made in the Department of Defense.

“What’s happening with DEI?” asked Watters. “How’s that going at the Defense Department?”

Hegseth was unapologetic: “DEI is not going well at the Defense Department because it’s dead.”

Boom! After years of DEI initiatives weakening our military, the current administration has finally taken decisive action to shut it down, refocusing the armed forces on their core mission: strength, readiness, and defense.

Perhaps one of the most striking elements of Hegseth’s statement, however, was his sharp critique of a popular axiom.

“Jesse, one of the dumbest phrases in military history is ‘our diversity is our strength,’” Hegseth said. “Our diversity is not our strength. Our unity and our shared purpose is our strength.” 

Hegseth’s declaration is not just a departure from recent policies; it’s a clarion call for soldiers to rally around their common mission: defending the United States. In an organization built on trust and teamwork, focusing on shared goals is undoubtedly more effective than exacerbating divisions based on identity.

Great job so far, Pete. Keep right on slapping those empty heads and making ‘em ring like Quasimodo’s bells. It’s a joy and a wonder to behold, and it’s time and well past time that somebody r’ared up on their hind legs and did it.

Exposure

Posted on      by     

Rather than separate citations of and/or excerpted passages reporting each of these most edifying developments from Trump Admin v2.0 the last few days, I’ll just quote Ace’s capsule summary and point y’all that-a-way, wherein he includes all those encouraging stories and links in one tidy package, and call it a job well and efficiently done.

Remember the media claiming that Trump and Musk were on the outs, and Trump wanted to bannish Musk from Mar-a-Lago?

Well, thanks to @ComradeArthur/@ArthurKimes, the Daily Mail reports that Trump has offered Musk a bedroom at the White House, because he was camping out at DOGE.

RFKJr. pointed out that Champagne Socialist Bernie Sanders receives huge donations from Big Pharma. Sanders claimed that he doesn’t take donation from CEOs or PACs, and that all of the millions he’s taken from Big Phama came from “the workers.” Sure, “the workers” maxxing out donations to Senator because they’re so concerned about Sanders promoting the corporation they work for.

Senator Liz Warpath has taken $5.2 million from Big Pharma, and she earned every penny of that bribe when she demanded that RFKJr. agree to never again sue Big Pharma, after he returns to private life after serving as SecHealth.

Kash Patel promised Marsha Blackburn that he, unlike Christopher Wray, would deliver over all the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Patel confirmed that he and Trump attempted to deploy the National Guard on January 6th but Nancy Pelosi blocked the move.

Patel’s best moment came when literal goon — I mean a literal goon; she comes from the race of Goons as seen in Popeye cartoons — Amy Klobuchar said she wanted five hours to question him. “You have two minutes,” Patel said.

Unfortunately Maizie Hirono persists. I wouldn’t trust this developmentally-disabled obese woman to buff my toenails.

Senator John Kennedy to Patel: “Sounds to me we’ve got to get some new conspiracy theories because all the old ones turned out to be true. Conspiracy theorists are up something like 37 to nothin’.”

Tulsi Gabbard explains why she said that paying terrorist groups to overthrow Syria’s Assad would result in a terrorist taking power in that country. The reason she feels justified in predicting this is that this is exactly what happened — a terrorist is now in charge of Syria.

But apart from that, why did you say that, Tulsi?

Heh. Indeed. Oh, and one more excellent quote, this one from Veep (and with any luck the next President) JD Vance.


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

Over-entitled much, bitch?

Former top DOJ immigration official says she was removed with no explanation

Uh-huh. Those of us stuck in the real word know that bizarre phenomenon not as some kind of miscarriage of justice or egregious violation of one’s God given right to gainful employment, but simply as “getting canned.”

A former top Justice Department immigration official who was removed from her position by new DOJ leadership this week told ABC News that she did not receive any explanation for her removal.

Lauren Alder Reid was one of four top officials from the agency that operates the U.S. immigration courts who was removed from her post. She had been with the agency for more than 14 years.

“They did not give me any reason, other than not citing the 16 years of outstanding performance evaluation for lack of any discipline, administrative leave or reassignment in my entire career,” Reid told ABC News.

When asked if she’s considering legal action, Reid, who was the assistant director of the Executive Office for Immigration Review’s office of policy, said that she and the others are considering all options available to them.

Brace yourself for the best bit of all, bold courtesy of moi.

“It’s pretty hard to sit back and imagine that this could begin to happen, at will, to any employee throughout the government, especially when we’re talking about public servants who have dedicated their careers to try to make our country the best,” she said.

Oh, I’m sure that’s what you’ve been doing right along in your comfy, overcompensated FederalGovCo sinecure, you piece of dead-weight shit. There’s a reason why Trump is now your boss—well, EX-boss, I should say—and you and your ilk’s inflated sense of your own importance is a YUUGE part of it.

Clue to the clueless: You are owed NOTHING. Not a job, not an explanation for being sacked, not an apology, not a single fucking thing. I’m not, she’s not, he’s not, we’re not, they’re not, and happily enough, neither are you. Snivel to your heart’s content about how “unfair” it all is, then, when you’re done, go hunt down the fool  who told you life itself is fair and punch him or her right in the fucking mouth for telling all those lies.

Intrepid oddity

Posted on      by     

For some reason I got to thinking about the USS Intrepid Museum at NYC’s Pier 86 and 46th Street, on the Hudson River. This in turn got me to poking around for the Intrepid Museum’s origin story, in the course of which I found a decidedly curious item, which I’ll put in bold so’s you don’t miss it. To wit:

The museum was proposed in the late 1970s as a way to preserve Intrepid, and it opened on August 3, 1982. The Intrepid Museum Foundation filed for bankruptcy protection in 1985 after struggling to attract visitors. The foundation acquired USS Growler and the destroyer USS Edson in the late 1980s to attract guests and raise money, although it remained unprofitable through the 1990s. The museum received a minor renovation in 1998 after it started turning a profit. Between 2006 and 2008, the Intrepid Museum was completely closed for a $115 million renovation. A new pavilion for the Space Shuttle Enterprise opened in 2012.

The Intrepid Museum spans three of the carrier’s decks; from top to bottom, they are the flight, hangar, and gallery decks. Most of the museum’s collection is composed of aircraft, which are exhibited on the flight deck. Among the museum’s collection are a Concorde SST, a Lockheed A-12 (a/ka the SR71 Blackbird; I’ve seen it, it’s awesome—M) supersonic reconnaissance plane, and the Space Shuttle Enterprise. The hangar and gallery decks contain a variety of attractions such as exhibit halls, a theater, and flight simulators, as well as individual objects like a cockpit and an air turbine. Several craft and other objects have been sold off or removed from the museum’s collection over the years. The museum serves as a space for community and national events, such as Fleet Week and awards ceremonies.

Mayor Ed Koch announced plans for the Intrepid’s conversion in mid-April 1981, and the United States Department of the Navy transferred the Intrepid to Fisher, who led the nonprofit Intrepid Museum Foundation, on April 27, 1981. The conversion of the carrier’s top two decks cost $22 million and was funded by $2.4 million in private donations, as well as $15.2 million of tax-exempt bonds and $4.5 million from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. After the New York City Board of Estimate gave the Intrepid Museum Foundation permission to sell tax-exempt bonds in December 1980, the bonds were sold to the public in July 1981. The federal grant was approved in January 1982, even though the project “had nothing to do with housing”. The renovation involved the addition of a theater, several planes on Intrepid’s deck, and aviation and maritime exhibit halls. The carrier’s navigation and flight bridges were also restored. The city spent around $2.5 million to renovate Pier 86 on the West Side of Manhattan, where Intrepid was to be docked. The museum leased the pier from the city for 33 years at $50,000 per year, making annual payments in lieu of taxes totaling $400,000.

Now, I’ve toured the Intrepid a whole bunch of times over the years, spending hours upon hours prowling the old girl’s flight deck closely inspecting the remarkable variety of air- and/or spacecraft resident thereon, and have thoroughly enjoyed every last one of said visits. So far be it from me to carp overmuch about it, but still: HUD? SRSLY?!? WTAF, man?

Ah well, whatevs. I’m just happy to know that the Intrepid Museum—having somehow survived years of sparse attendance, financial woes, and even one (1) filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1985 (!)—is still afloat and open for public viewing by cake-eating civilians, military aviation buffs, veterans both retired and active-duty, and assorted looky-loos with some free time on their hands alike. If you’ve never been and find yourself at loose ends in NYC some fine day, I can think of a great many worse ways to kill an idle afternoon (weather permitting, natch) than a trip to Midtown West to stroll the Intrepid’s decks. Two snaps enthusiastically Up, and highly, highly recommended.

Having likewise toured the USS North Carolina and the USS Yorktown many times*, I can assure you that, good as they were—and they were—neither of those thankfully-preserved pieces of real, true American history can so much as hold a candle to the USS Intrepid, and that’s a fact.

* As well as the Brit destroyer HMS Bristol once, when she made a Wilmington port call on her way back from the Falklands dustup, a few Jack Tar swabbies took in a show the BPs did there, and graciously invited us out to the boat the next day, even going so far as to bring us below decks to drink piss-warm English beer, smoke a few fags, and share a few laughs with ‘em; great guys all, those lads were

Civics 101

Posted on      by     

As I always say, there’s a reason this sort of thing isn’t taught in the government schools anymore.


Your obligatory “Show more” workaround:

There cannot be a “hostile takeover of the civil service.” The civil service is not a check on the Executive Branch- it IS the Executive Branch. If a Department, Office, Bureau, program, or individual is doing something counter to the will of the Executive, it’s well within the Executive’s right to nip such behavior in the bud. Because the Executive was elected by the will of the people. The bureaucracy was not.

“Prevent the civil service from becoming the President’s henchmen.” What absolute drivel.

Left-wing ideals have been left to fester and seep into every aspect of the so-called civil service, to the point it feels emboldened to act as an unelected, unvetted check on the President. Nonsense. There are three branches of gov’t that are intended to check and balance each other: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. There is no fourth branch called “The Bureuacracy” that has the right to check or balance the other three.

The bureaucracy in DC is as entrenched as a tumor grown in the bone, sucking the life force out of this country. It will take a lot of surgery – some of it messy – to fix all that damage.

Messy indeed—with the majority of said “mess” consisting of spilled blood, buckets and buckets of it.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Glenn helpfully explains where the wrecking ball comes into the picture.

Trump is following through with unprecedented and swift action to begin his presidency – which has reset the national mood
Soon after November’s election, I suggested that if Donald Trump were smart, he’d come in like a wrecking ball: Move fast, break things and precipitate change across many fronts all at once, subjecting the Democrats, the media and the left (but I repeat myself) to shock and awe.

Boy, has he ever done that, unleashing unprecedented change in just his first 100 hours.

He banned DEI throughout the federal government, closed the borders to illegal immigrants (according to Customs and Border Protection, illegal crossings dropped 97% by Trump’s second day in office), halted government censorship efforts, refocused the Defense Department from social issues to warfighting, and started a massive cleanup at the corrupt Department of Justice.

Follows, a most edifying litany of Trump moves, directives, and initiatives, culminating with:

A week or two ago, all these things seemed too hard to accomplish. 

Now they’re simply being done. 

Oh, there’s resistance: The Air Force announced that as part of Trump’s DEI ban it would stop teaching cadets about the Tuskeegee Airmen scandal, an act of obvious bad faith designed to grab headlines.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who knows whereof he speaks, rightly called this “political theatrics” and “passive-aggressive performative nonsense . . . It’s all an act.” 

It is an act, and the actors should be sacked.

Indeed they should, in fact, MUST—every man Jack of them, lest this nascent movement in all the right directions be kilt a-borning.

But that they’re trying this sort of idiocy is proof that they’re flailing and desperate. Trump has the momentum.

One reason for this, of course, is that things like the DEI ban and immigration enforcement are wildly popular. 

The American public has never supported affirmative action or open borders. 

Those are policy preferences of the elites, who bullied opponents by calling them racist.

That doesn’t work anymore.

Nor should it. May it ever be thus.

Tom Homan, bless his gruff heart, seems to delight in laying down the smack on whiny shitlib beeyotches.

Border czar Tom Homan reacts to Selena Gomez’s viral post sobbing over ICE raids
Border czar Tom Homan said Monday night the Trump administration has “no apologies” for the ICE raids targeting illegal migrants in the US when asked about Selena Gomez’s since-deleted Instagram post in which she sobbed over the law enforcement action.

“All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” Gomez said in the video.

Gomez was slammed for sounding out of touch and quickly took down the video, writing on her Instagram story, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”

When asked about the viral video on Fox News, Homan denied the alleged attacks Gomez referenced and claimed that Immigration Customs and Enforcement is only going after illegal migrants with prior criminal history.

“If they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law. We’re going to do this operation without apology,” Homan told Fox News.

“We’re gonna make our community safer. It is all for the good of this nation. And we’re gonna keep going. No apologies. We’re moving forward.”

Stupid bimbelina doesn’t seem to realize that she can take things down and/or delete them all she likes, but the Innarnuts is forever, and doesn’t give a fat rat’s patoot.


Truly, truly pathetic. Also futile, and utterly pointless. Elsewhere, Trump’s brassy, sassy new press sec proves her mettle without delay.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed it is the official policy of the Trump administration that all undocumented immigrants are considered criminals. This is a change from the Biden administration, which referred to those immigrants as undocumented noncitizens.

“If you are an individual, a foreign national, who illegally enters the United States of America, you are by definition a criminal,” Leavitt said.

According to the Justice Department, improper entry into the U.S. is a criminal offense with civil penalties, including a fine. Subsequent offenses carry stricter penalties like a five-year bar on returning to the US and possible prison time.

“They are criminals as far as this administration goes,” Leavitt said. “I know the last administration didn’t see it that way. So it’s a big culture shift in our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration law as a criminal, but that’s exactly what they are.”

You GO, girl!

Joy!

Genuine, heartfelt joy, REAL joy, that is. Look close, Kumala, so’s you’ll always know it when you see it from now on.

‘This Is What Victory Feels Like!’ Musk Gives Epic Victory Speech
Elon Musk delivered a powerful speech following the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump, celebrating the event as a new chapter for both America and the future of human civilization. His words resonated with a sense of purpose and excitement that reflected a vision of progress grounded in core American values. Musk’s speech was a testament to his belief in the power of the people and the transformative potential of technology and innovation.

“Yes! This is what victory feels like!” Musk opened with an exuberant declaration, setting the tone for what would be a speech filled with energetic praise for the people who had made this moment possible. “This was no ordinary victory,” he said. “This was a fork in the road of human civilization.”

Musk quickly highlighted the importance of this particular election, emphasizing its unique impact. “You know, there are elections that… come and go,” he noted. “Some elections are, you know, important; some are not. But this one, this one, this one really mattered.”

In a heartfelt moment, in which you could tell Musk was overcome with emotion as he thanked the audience for its role in this pivotal victory, he acknowledged the collective effort that made it happen: “I just want to say thank you for making it happen. Thank you.”

Musk’s vision for the future was centered around a safer, more secure America. “It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured,” he told the crowd. “Thanks to you, we’re going to have safe cities, finally! Safe cities, secure borders, sensible spending, basic stuff.”

A moment of humor and excitement followed as Musk announced a bold new goal: taking Dogecoin to Mars. “And we’re going to take DOGE to Mars,” he exclaimed. “I mean, can you imagine how awesome it will be to have American astronauts plant the flag on another planet for the first time? Yeah. How inspiring would that be?”

While Musk acknowledged the inevitable challenges ahead, he stressed the need for inspiration in the face of those obstacles. “There’s always… problems in life. You know, this problem, solved that problem, solved that problem,” he said. “But, you know, there need to be things that inspire you. There needs to be things that make you glad to wake up in the morning and say, ‘I’m looking forward to the future.’”

“And let me tell you, I’m gonna work my a** off for you guys, so. I really will. I really will.”

Elon’s ebullience, his sheer uncontainable enthusiasm, was written all over his face throughout the speech. So naturally the shitlibs couldn’t stop themselves from stepping in to shit all over it, as is their usual wont.


The supposed “fascist salute,” a ludicrous notion on the very face of it, comes in when Elon grabs his chest, yells “My heart goes out to you!” and then makes a gesture to indicate throwing his heart out to the crowd in appreciation of their support. Which leads me to hope that Trump will see his way clear to defunding the Government Television sewer rats, soonest.

Woke is a joke

Posted on      by     

Like Ed says, there’s so much tasty stuff here it’s tough to decide what to excerpt, or how much. In the way of our esteemed colleague John Wilder, to excerpt it is to ruin it. Or, as Salieri said of Mozart’s music in Amadeus: Displace one note and there would be diminishment, displace one phrase and the structure would fall.

The dawn of the anti-woke era
Having rejected the Democrats’ progressivist dogma, the American electorate is undergoing a social and demographic revolution.

In late November, a California judge rejected a demand by several women’s volleyball teams to disqualify a transgender player for San Jose State before this year’s tournament. Six opponents have forfeited games against the team this year rather than collude in what they see as cheating. The larger question of transgender athletes in college sports will be decided later, but the judge is defending a lost cause. Fewer than a quarter of Americans (23 per cent) support allowing transgender athletes to play on women’s teams. Teams that do field trans athletes are sometimes booed off the pitch. Such feelings go a long way towards explaining Donald Trump’s resounding win in November’s presidential elections.

Washingtonians are often asked what it feels like to watch the second age of Trump dawn. Oddly, it does not feel much like his first arrival in 2016. It feels more like Barack Obama’s in 2008 or Bill Clinton’s in 1992 – less a political than a social revolution, in which philosophical habits will be broken along with political hierarchies. This particular social revolution owes most of its energy to a revulsion against woke. That is the source of the new era’s promise and danger.

Trump left office only four years ago. Washington rejected him – somatically, as in a botched organ transplant. Having squeaked into power on an anti-establishment platform, he arrived in the capital to find the establishment bloodied but unbowed. Hostile neighbours on Tennyson Street hung rainbow flags in front of the house where his vice-president Mike Pence was staying during the transition. By the CVS drugstore at Connecticut Avenue and McKinley, activists waved signs at honking motorists throughout December. The day after the inauguration in 2017, over 200,000 women, decked out in “pussyhats” and led by establishment celebrities from Scarlett Johansson to Emma Watson, descended on the Mall. It shook the city: it was the largest collection of protest marchers since the Vietnam War, and drew a considerably larger crowd than the inauguration ceremony. The mood was defiant.

There’s none of that now. The mood in Washington’s progressive neighbourhoods is more one of muttered commiseration. (And they are all progressive neighbourhoods: in the capital city, Harris defeated Trump 93 per cent to 7 per cent.)

The result was revolutionary, and not in the way Democrats intended: anyone with a sense of fair play would be tempted to vote for a fellow who had been, as the playwright David Mamet put it, “raided, indicted, convicted, sued, slandered and shot”. But at this point, to do so would be to declare the judicial system corrupt. In the end, half the country did just that: suburbanites wore T-shirts with Trump’s mug shot on them. Grannies danced giddily on TikTok: “Here’s how it feels to vote for a convicted felon!”

The country is floating free of its laws. That is what gives the present its feeling of open-ended promise and peril. If Trump decides to investigate the Biden administration’s connection to these cases, will it be sauce for the gander, or a sign of authoritarian tendencies? Hard to say. Every elected official poses some risk of turning authoritarian. Mostly, we assume it’s one in 100, or one in 1,000. But the more discontented an electorate is, the higher a risk it may run.

There, that ought to be sufficient motivation for y’all to click on over and read the whole thing. Of course, Caldwell throws in some of the usual “Trump lost in 2020 fair and square” bushwa which has become de rigeur for Old Media essayists these days, along with the now-obligatory “baseless” codswallop I railed about last night. All in all, though, it’s a good piece; his brief rundown deriding Trump’s “34 felonies” is especially pungent, and the rest is well-written and quite insightful at the very least.

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
