Demented Dominion

Elizabeth Nickson is just having WAAAY too much fun, bless her coal-black little heart.

The Demented Dominion is In A Lather and It is Marvellous
Trump has kicked over a bucket of murder hornets; life here consists of stumbling from one fainting couch to another

Who knew Canada could get so interesting? I am enjoying the hell out of this every day, as one flailing socialist after another trumpets his superior virtue, while the economy withers and dies and everyone with mettle and energy leaves. Plus it’s creating some awesome awesome humour.

I am trying to understand and explain why 70% of Canadians support Mark Carney. Essentially, 60% of us depend on the government for our living, and the rest, the 30% will expire, their businesses, income and revenue will drop, if the Trump tariffs take effect. Which means that the Liberal Party of Canada has broken the country so thoroughly, that without the massive subsidy from the States of 10% of our GDP a year – to include our $50 billion trade deficit with the U.S., our 25-50% tariffs on U.S. goods coming in, and 2% of our annual GDP spent on defense.

We cannot do it. We will die. We cannot exist without American largesse. We have destroyed our economy so thoroughly we are beggars.

Our GDP will drop (to) 0% and we will be in a deep deep depression.

Which may be the only thing to wake us up.

It’s a fairly long piece, of which you absolutely MUST read the all. And bang! Zoom! Just like that, into Ye Aulde Bookmarkes ’N’ Blogrolle she goes. Her blog is titled “Welcome To Absurdistan,” and believe me, cadets, you WILL be seeing that name around these parts again.

Update! From Elizabeth’s “About” page.

Here are my credentials. I was trained at the London Bureau of Time Magazine, spent seven years there, ending as European Bureau Chief of LIFE Magazine. I published a novel, The Monkey Puzzle Tree with Knopf and Bloomsbury. I’ve written for the Telegraph, the Globe and Mail, Harper’s Magazine, the Sunday Times Magazine, British Vogue, the Independent, the Guardian, the Observer. I have moonlighted writing for the Daily Mail (fun!) and covered the collections in Paris and London for the Toronto Sun and the LA Weekly.

In 2012, I published Eco-Fascists, How Radical Environmentalists are Destroying Our Natural Heritage, with Adam Bellow at Harper Collins New York.

To research the book, I drove 20,000 miles into the American backcountry, deep into the towns and counties no one visits. Over a full decade, I talked to thousands of men and women negatively impacted by the regulatory regime put in place by activists in government. They care deeply about the land and its health and no one listens to them. Regulations are put in place by people who live thousands of miles away and who are utterly heartless in their orientation, because the devastation is extreme. 20 million have been driven from their lands in the developing world, and I counted 14 million in the USA. Those lands more often than not, degrade. No one else has done that reporting in any systematic way, and I am, God help me, an authority on zoning, regulations, rules, legislation, land use, environmental NGOs, and the bitter fight over land, water and resources in the US, and to a lesser extent in Canada.

As I just said above: bookmarks. Blogroll. The lady is qualified and talented, with a unique perspective and a lively, appealing, even humorous (dare I say it) outlook. I look forward to working my slow, careful way through her blog archives, and to seeing more fine work from her in days to come. You go, girlfriend!

Bibi straightens out UN assholes

Just telling it like it is, that’s sll. Which you can be sure is really going to chap the ass of certain types, who always seem to have their little panties in a bunch over some lame-ass bullshit or other anyway.

Netanyahu at the United Nations
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has consistently been a powerful and clear public speaker, and he kept that pattern as he passionately spoke before the United Nations on Thursday. Before he even said a word, dozens of delegates left the room in protest of Israel’s very existence, but Netanyahu was not deterred and spent the next 40 minutes dispersing truths to these “moral cowards.” Here are some of the highlights:

  • Bibi started off talking about how the victory over Iran is a victory for the West and how many leaders of the hypocritical countries who had just walked had privately called and thanked him for Israel to do what they never had the courage to do.
  • He then spoke about his deceased brother and the Six-Day War. He reminded the world that this war was again a situation where Israel was vastly outnumbered, yet triumphed. Bibi pointed out that this was before Israel even controlled the territories that the world is now saying all attacks on Israel are about: Gaza, Judea-Samaria, and the Golan. He relayed his dead brother’s words as a mantra: “We’re going to win. We have no other choice.”
  • Netanyahu spoke in detail about the horrors of October 7, the evils of Hamas, and the 7-front war Israel has been fighting for three years. He went on to talk about the actions and war in Judea-Samaria, followed by his praise of the partnership of Israel and the United States.

Bibi echoed words that I had said on Rosh Hashanah about the dangers of social media; the antisemitic lies of media in general; and described the media campaigns against Israel as an “eighth front.” He called out by name the nation of Qatar, and how it has taken over so many Western universities and media. He pointed out other problems with Qatar, including the funding of Hamas and the housing of its leaders. He went on to talk about Turkey and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the “tyrant,” and countered the lies that are used to attack Israel by the media. He took particular aim at Zohran Mamdani, calling out his hatred for Jews.

As he discussed antisemites and this eighth front, Netanyahu made a powerful statement: “The days when Jews were defenseless victims, marched to the slaughter, are over. Today, we have a state. Today, we have an army. Today, we have a people ready and willing to defend ourselves.”

You tell ’em, Bibi. Hopefully, the US will always be right there at your side, armed and ready to stand with you to the end, because the enemy Jews have been battling for several centuries is the selfsame implacable, hate-driven, bloodthirsty., mindlessly genocidal, semi-literate, feral Moslem foe confronting Americans (which country the Muzzrats have referred to as “The Great Satan” for the last, oh fifty years or so, BTW) as well.

Update! Did somebody say something about a “shared enemy” just now? Why, yes; yes, I believe someone did.

‘We Want Islam For This Country’: Muslims In Texas Lay Out Vision For Islamic America
The organization hosting the event has plans for a 40,000-square-foot Islamic facility near Plano, Texas

Shaykh Uthman ibn Farooq laid out a vision for an Islamic America during a livestreamed event at the Sufaraa Center in McKinney, Texas, last week. Authentic Ilm Mission, which hosted the event, has plans for a 40,000-square-foot facility near Plano, Texas, and used the livestream featuring Farooq to fundraise for the multipurpose school and Islamic community center.

“We love this country,” Farooq said. “We want good for this country. And that’s why we want Islam for this country, ’cause we think that’s the best thing. And we’re not going to be ashamed of that.”

He went on to argue that Muslims are fully within their constitutional rights to adhere to Sharia law. “We’re Muslims. That’s our identity, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The Constitution of this country protects that. That’s our right to believe in the Sharia. Yes, I said it. That’s our right.

Like hell it is, goat-fucker. I’ve read the US Constitution so many times it’s come to be as familiar to me as the inside of my mouth, but I can recollect no endorsement, commendation, or anything whatsoever about any “right” to believe in or practice your stupid sharia law, but there’s a whole section condemning your right to force it on others against their will.

In fact, our Founding Fathers rejected Pisslam entirely, and despised Moslems as the dangerous,
quasi-human drains on Western Civ that they are.

In the wake of President Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries and his earlier calls for a blanket Muslim ban, debate has raged about religious freedom in America and the degree to which Muslims are protected under the First Amendment. Those on the far right often contend that Islam is incompatible with democracy and “Western civilization”. Muslims, they argue, will undermine democratic institutions, seeking to establish Sharia law.
Which they say so themselves—openly, pridefully, unashamedly.

The Founding Fathers talked about Islam quite a bit, and it was almost always negative. Even with stories of Islamic terrorism dominating news feeds for the last couple decades, the average American of 1800 had a much dimmer view of Islam than the average American of 2017. It was precisely because Islam was so universally mistrusted in early America that it served as an ideal rhetorical device in debating the extent of religious freedom in the new republic. Should religious freedom extend to all religions or only to different Protestant sects? Only Christians? Should non-Protestants be allowed to hold office? Would it be possible that a Muslim could openly practice his religion, vote, and even be elected to office?

Most colonists got their views of Islam not through America’s earliest Muslims, but through European attitudes toward Islam. Since Islam’s inception in the 7th century, there was a fundamental rift between the new religion and Christianity. Muslims, viewing their religion as the final, perfect version of God’s revelation, allowed for a semi-tolerance of Christianity and Judaism as “people of the book”, as they were imperfect revelations that had come before. 8 For Christians on the other hand, Islam was openly heretical. It is no mistake that in Dante’s Inferno, Muhammad occupies the eighth circle of Hell along with the other “schismatics”.

As he should; Dante, driven by a creative fire and artistic vision most of us can’t even begin to imagine, was definitely onto something when he put Mohammad in his proper place: Hell.

Go live in Tehran, Addis Ababa, or Mogadishu, fuckface; you and your loathsome, dress-wearing ilk ain’t American, ain’t ever gonna be, and simply don’t belong here. In addition, I cannot find any mention in the Constitution of your “right” to undermine this nation, tear down  its remains, and then remake it according to the Neanderthal, pig-ignorant precepts of your gutter pseudo-religion, thereby forcing your totalitarian shitrapy on a populace strenuously opposed to what you’re doing—those of us who are even aware of it, sadly. At any rate, just git, you foul, warped, sick-minded creature.

Plenty more of this madman’s spittle-flecked, foam-mouthed ravings at the link. Be sure to take note of his plaintive, empty protestations proclaiming his supposed “love” for America, even while declaring his sneak-thieving plan to do away entirely with America as it now exists and construct a very different America in its place. Like his “liberal” allies of convenience, he sure does love him some America…the America tha exists only in his imagination, that is, not the one we actually have.

Wonder if this camel-humping towelhead will bother to keep the old name—the United States of America— or replace it with “Sharialand” or “Allahcountry” or “Dar al Harbia” or something else more suitable.

Is this real? Might it actually happen?

Not a chance. Once-Great Britain is an abject, unqualified, Mark 1-Mod 0 tyranny, and tyrannies have never been inclined to just let people go seceding like this.

Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales leaders to meet tomorrow to plan breakup of UK: Report
The leaders of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will meet on Monday to discuss plans for the breakup of the United Kingdom, according to The Telegraph.

First Ministers John Swinney of Scotland, Rhun ap Iowerth of Wales, and Michelle O’Neill of Northern Ireland are expected to sign a joint declaration demanding the right to hold referendums on breaking away from the UK. For the first time, the three constituent nations of the UK are held by pro-separation parties.

The Telegraph reported sources as saying that the summit’s purpose is to pile more pressure on Prime Minister Andy Burnham after he said in the parliament on Wednesday that he would back another Scottish independence referendum if public opinion backed one.

A source close to Swinney told the newspaper that Burnham “fucked up” by making the comment and unionists should be very worried.

In the UK, unionists are those who support the union of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales with England in UK, whereas parties like Sinn Féin (Northern Ireland), Scottish National Party (SNP), and Plaid Cymru (Wales) support the breakup of the UK.

The source further said: “Burnham has not read his brief and doesn’t seem to know the basics of the UK Government’s position on the Union. If I was a Unionist, I would be very worried.”

Actually, they aren’t, and there’s no real reason they should be. Vote all you like, whichever way you like; we already know too well how useful voting is as any kind of change agent all on its own, most especially in the UK—you can make a statement via voting, and that’s about it. Even in more or less honest “elections,” voting is merely a gesture, and that’s pretty much all it is.

If/when King Charles tells his restive subjects “not just no, but HELL no!” in response, then calls out whatever troops he has left to back him up, the “breakaway nations” will fold like a cheap accordion, and all the big talk about separating legally and politically from the UK will tiptoe quietly away, on little cat feet (as Sandberg said of the fog). Y’know, just like Brexit did.

Dream team

The über-lovely and talented Sophie Cunningham and …uhhh, lemme see here…what the everlovin’ blueyed…erm…Republic of Texas AG and gubernatorial candidate Ken Paxton?!?

As Jack Nicholson so memorably quipped in the criminally-under-appreciated film Goin’ South, “what the hell, fine by me.”

Texas AG Ken Paxton sends message to WNBA amid ‘concerns’ over treatment of Sophie Cunningham supporters
EXCLUSIVE: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton expressed cautious optimism about the WNBA’s treatment of Sophie Cunningham’s supporters Thursday while reaffirming his commitment to keeping biological males out of women’s sports.

Paxton attended the Indiana Fever’s game against the Dallas Wings at American Airlines Center with his daughter Mattie. The two wore matching XX-XY shirts as women’s sports advocates rallied outside the arena before the game.

When asked whether Cunningham’s supporters had received fair treatment from the WNBA, Paxton stopped short of condemning the league.

“Look, I think they’re working on it,” Paxton told Fox News Digital. “I have concerns … but I’m hopeful that things are getting better in that regard.”

Paxton answered a question on whether he would become involved if supporters face unfair treatment, saying he was “looking” into the issue. He did not indicate any plans for any formal action.

“Look, we’re looking at it,” Paxton said. “We wanna make sure that they are treated fairly”

Paxton’s measured response came after Cunningham supporters raised concerns about their treatment at WNBA games in multiple cities. The league recently acknowledged that security personnel should not have instructed a mother and daughter to cover their XX-XY shirts at an Atlanta Dream game.

“This should not have happened,” the WNBA said in response to that incident.

Paxton showed little willingness to compromise on the underlying issue.

“In Texas, we know what we’ve passed,” he said. “We have laws here that protect against men in women’s sports and boys in girls’ sports, and it’s pretty important to, I think, the people of Texas.”
As it’s “pretty important” to all sane, reasonable people everywhere. As my gal Sophie herself said after this foolish non-troversy—yet another of those 80/20 issues that a certain pathological criminal syndicate masquerading as a political party finds itself on the 20 percent side of—went wide: “It’s just common sense.”

Just hitch up your Big Boy britches, square your shoulders, and ‘fess on up to it: when she’s right, she is one hundred and fifty-leven percent fucking-A RIGHT. And as I learn more about this woman, I am starting to feel somewhat awed by how often she IS right, I must say.

Oh, and while we’re discussing dream teams here…A-HENH!

* le sigh* That’s a snap (at left and right, NOT the middle one, natch) from the Sidney-Sophie meetup at the Phoenix NASCAR event mentioned by Village Idiot in the comments here.

These two living dolls hanging out together just having themselves a little race-day fun is literally the stuff of which dreams are made.

America’s Gov understands how to turn the (Red) tide

SO. Howzabout we declare Ron The Great King 4 Life? Hey, just spitballing here.

DeSantis Signs Sweeping Law Mandating Anti Communist Lessons Across Florida Schools
Florida students will soon receive classroom instruction on the atrocities and expanding threat of communism under legislation signed Wednesday by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The requirement covers every grade from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Senate Bill 1264 directs public schools to provide age appropriate lessons about communist regimes, their victims, and the dangers posed by the ideology.

The curriculum is expected to present historical facts that too often receive a convenient gloss from the academic left.

“We might as well give them the truth when they are in our schools because a lot of these universities… teach how great communism is,” DeSantis said at a press conference in Hialeah.

The governor argued that students deserve an honest account before reaching universities where radical professors may portray communism as a noble experiment that simply went wrong.

Florida is choosing facts over fashionable excuses for failed regimes.

The new law requires lessons to highlight communist atrocities and the ideology’s “increasing threat.”

Those subjects include the brutality, political repression, economic ruin, and loss of individual liberty associated with communist governments around the world.

I do declare, the more I see of this DeSantis dude the more I like the cut of his jib. As I have repeated here so many times I’m sick of hearing myself say it, there is no chance whatsoever of repairing and restoring this badly broken nation until we retake control of the mass indoctrination centers I usually refer to as the government schools from the malevolent Leftist curs currently running them.

@BabyD1111229Woo hoo! 👏🏻

A Texas constable just unplugged every Flock surveillance camera in his county and told the company to come get its garbage out of a free society.

Hood County Precinct 2 Constable John Shirley refused to wait for another empty study or corporate promise.

He and his team went out, disconnected the entire network of license-plate readers, covered them, and shut the system down cold.

“Today is a good day for the Freedom of the people of Hood County,” he posted.

He explained that he had finished the job of shutting down the county’s Flock cameras, which had been completely unplugged and covered.

Those devices were constantly scanning and recording regular people just going about their day, and that kind of permanent, warrantless tracking does not belong in a free society.

Every drive past one of those devices meant a person’s license plate was captured, time-stamped, and stored in a searchable database without any warrant or suspicion.

This created constant logging of ordinary Americans as they went to work, church, or the store.

Shirley made the principle plain when he stated that by unplugging and covering them they were making it clear that privacy is not optional and mass surveillance is not how things are done in Hood County.

He described the action as what limited government looks like and stressed that people there should not have to wonder if every trip they take is being logged and stored.

He expressed pride that this real win for the citizens had been accomplished.

He then delivered the final blow by telling Flock Safety Systems to come get their garbage out of his county.

This decisive stand comes at the exact moment reports have already exposed dozens of cases where officers abused the same network to stalk private citizens.

The company’s CEO admitted they could have done more earlier, yet the cameras keep spreading and turning daily life into permanent digital records that can be searched at will.

Once this infrastructure blankets the country, the temptation to misuse it never disappears.

Constable Shirley has proved that one determined official can still push back and win.

Hood County has drawn the line, leaving the question of whether the rest of America will follow before the watching becomes so normal that freedom itself feels like a memory.

Demand the same action in your county and share this widely, because the surveillance net is already tightening while one Texas lawman has just shown how to start cutting it.

Good on ya, sir. Sure am glad to see there’s at least one American lawman in this ugly era with his head screwed on straight, his heart in the right place, and unafraid to let his conscience be his guide.

“Threaten”? SRSLY?!?

“Threaten,” it says. “Threaten,” forsooth.

If we’re not careful, Islamic extremists threaten to turn us into ‘Americastan’
Over next month’s Labor Day weekend, Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed is to speak at a conference that will platform a rogue’s gallery of Islamic extremists.

The conference in Detroit is the 63rd annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America, a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate that was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007-28 Holy Land terrorism-funding trial.

Other speakers among a plethora of Islamists include Siraj Wahhaj, a former ISNA vice-president who was himself an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Wahhaj, who has called for the full application of sharia law including amputation, stoning and the execution of gay people, makes no secret of his aim to Islamize America.

He has said: “You don’t get involved in politics because it’s the American thing to do. You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.”

Another scheduled convention participant, Zaid Shakir, has said: “If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate. If we put a nationwide infrastructure in place and marshaled our resources, we’d take over this country in a very short time.”

And now: Question Time.

Apart from El-Sayed’s participation, the question has to be asked how this conference has been able to platform such dangerous extremists year after year. Why are such individuals allowed to run jihadi mosques and other institutions that pose such a threat to the state? How come America has permitted such dangerous extremists to be able freely to promote such jihadi subversion?

As for those “jihadi mosques,” some smart Hun has hit upon the perfect preemptive solution to that thorny issue.

Pieces of pig placed on plot of future mosque in Germany
BERLIN (AP) — Nine wooden spikes topped with parts of a dead pig were planted on a plot of land where Muslims are planning to build a mosque in the eastern city of Erfurt, German police said Monday.

The 1.5 meter-tall (nearly 5-foot) stakes were topped with half of a pig’s head, pig feet, and pig bowels among other things, the German news agency dpa reported. Police say whoever was responsible is unknown.

Pigs are considered unclean by Muslims.

There have been repeated protests against the construction of the Ahmadiyya mosque in Erfurt, including one by protesters who erected large Christian crosses on a neighboring property.

A spokesman for the Erfurt community, Mohammed Suleman Malik, said in a statement to The Associated Press that “while such acts do not make us lose our composure…we find it very sad that people go down to such a level.”

Yeah, fuck you, Mohammed. Shag your ass on back to the ME where you belong, shitstain.

Update! Only tangentially related, I suppose, but this one’s been sitting in an open tab for a while now, and this feels like a pretty good spot for it.

The $3.8 Billion Lie: Why Cutting Aid to Israel Would Sabotage America’s Power, Not Save It.

The US federal budget is about $7 trillion. That $3.8 billion to Israel is less than 0.05% of it. The defense budget is around $960 billion. The aerospace and defense industry generates nearly $1 trillion in sales and about $500 billion in economic value. Most of that $3.8 billion goes right back into American companies and jobs.

Israel’s own budget is about $220 billion. This is not charity, and Israel is not dependent on it. If it was just a matter of money, Israel could build its own weapons on its own. It has that capacity. But this is a real partnership, just like any corporate partnership where each side contributes to the project.

Israeli pilots and the Israeli defense establishment operate under constant threat from terrorists, jihadists, and anti-American entities. They make real-time, do-or-die adjustments to equipment developed for both countries.

That is what gives American weapons their edge over Russian, Chinese, and other competition. This is how America builds and maintains power through smart, long-term vision.

Yet the anti-Israel crowd, including figures like Ilhan Omar and Zohran Mamdani, tells the public that cutting this tiny fraction would make everyone rich. It’s not just a lie. It’s ridiculous.

If people with that Robin Hood mindset gain real power, they would sabotage the American way of investing, developing, and staying dominant. At the same time, American Jews, roughly 7.5 million strong, contribute an estimated $250 billion annually to the US treasury through taxes. Their bond with Israel isn’t just strategic; it’s family.

Cutting aid to Israel while pushing to isolate it sends a clear message to this highly productive community: your taxes may fund policies hostile to your family and your values.

These new voices aren’t serving the American people. They’re advancing Islamic and communist agendas, whether funded by China or anti-American Islamic regimes.
This outrage over Gaza is manufactured by the same terrorists and jihadists who dragged Israel and America into this dirty war, using human shields and weaponizing civilians by design to turn Americans against their own government and allies.

Replacing a proven alliance and a successful economic fabric with dependency and foreign interests is a dangerous gamble. The average American needs to wake up.

Boy, you dang sure said a mouthful there, Bubba.

Our crooked, cooked-up “elections”

Meanwhile, the D卐M☭CRAT scum just keeps on lying and spinning, spinning and lying. Happily, Scott Jennings ain’t having any of that shite.

Scott Jennings Torches CNN Host for Downplaying Non-Citizen Voter Scandal
Sherrill said a software error dating back to June 2023, three years before she took office, improperly registered roughly 6,600 people to vote in New Jersey.

About 400 of those people cast ballots, according to Sherrill. I said before that Sherrill’s admission was theater, a calculated release designed to make 6,600 bogus registrations and 400 illegal votes look like the whole story instead of the tip of it. The company she tried to pin the blame on isn’t cooperating with that script, either. The vendor pushed back on Sherrill’s version of events, arguing that verifying citizenship was ultimately the state’s job, not the software’s.

But, the left, which originally claimed things like this never happen, is now pushing the idea narrative that it’s such a small amount of fraud that it doesn’t matter anyway. That is exactly what CNN’s Abby Phillip claimed Tuesday night, and Scott Jennings let her have it.

Phillip spent much of the segment trying to convince her own panel that thousands of non-citizens voting in New Jersey didn’t amount to a widespread problem, sparring first with Manhattan Institute pollster Jesse Arm before enduring the wrath of Scott Jennings

“What’s your tolerance for this?” Jennings asked her.

Phillip pressed him on whether he considered the situation widespread rather than answering the question. Jennings didn’t blink.

“My bar is, I want no tolerance,” he said. “I have zero tolerance for this.”

You know, I know, Margolis knows, and Scott Jennings knows as well that the above numbers are but the tip of a VERY large iceberg; like fleas on a ol’ blue-tick hound, when you see one you automatically know that there are at least a hundred more you AIN’T seeing. Kudos to Jennings for once again refusing to just lie down like a good Vichy GOPer and let the shitlib “journalist” steamroll right over him.

Update! More on Amerika v2.0’s fake, phony, fraudulent “elections” from JF Cotto.

When China hit British voter data, the Biden-Harris team slapped on sanctions and charges. When Iran stole files on a mere 100,000 Americans, indictments followed. But 220 million American records in Chinese hands? Silence and stonewalling. That selective blindness tells you everything about priorities in Democrat circles.

In his remarks, Trump never claimed these breaches flipped election results. He exposed live vulnerabilities that enemies have both the desire and ability to use. That matters more than rehashing 2020 fights. Our systems remain exposed today, and pretending otherwise endangers every future vote.

Non-citizen voting gets waved away as tiny. Wrong. A Homeland Security check found roughly 278,000 non-citizens registered in just four cooperating states. Democrat-run states blocked access to their rolls, so the real total runs far higher. Every illegal ballot cancels a legal one. That is illegal disenfranchisement of American citizens.

Evidence of fraud gets buried too.

In Michigan, Democrat-linked canvassers forged registrations for fake people and earned gift cards for volume. The Biden-Harris Justice Department dragged its feet for years.

Mail-in voting? Decades of studies flag it as risky. A bipartisan commission called absentee ballots the biggest source of potential fraud. Massachusetts Institute of Technology data shows fraud hits harder through mail than in person. Polls captured voters admitting to illegalities. The Heritage Foundation catalogs case after case of stolen, forged, or coerced ballots.

This pattern of manipulation did not start yesterday. Democrats have urinated on democracy for more than a century to cling to power. Sometimes with horrific results.

Like all too many others, Dr Cotto’s damp-eyed prescription for taking care of all this sick D卐M☭CRAT hoodoo is to VOAT HARDERER!© at them, rather than the shooting, hanging, throwing off of tall buildings, running over with a Killdozer, and general lynch-all-liberals approach I prefer. His closing question, however, is perfectly apt and on-point.

Jagger to Springstein: shut up and “sing!”

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

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

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

They didn’t buy tickets to hear lectures.

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

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

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

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

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

And the beat goes on:

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

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

Pfft!

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

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

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

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

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

Dunderhead opens yap, DeSantis slaps it shut

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


Show more defiance:

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

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

Outed!

Exposing the anti-2A billionaires working to deprive us of our God-given right to effective means of self-defense. Or, to quote the article, “deep pockets for anti-gun efforts.”

Yes, of COURSE Soros is one of the scuzzbuckets. Why would you even feel a need to ask, prithee tell?

We Won’t Let Anti-Gun Billionaires Who Finance Civilian Disarmament Live in the Shadows Anymore
For far too long, anti-gun groups have been nothing more than snake oil salesmen. They claim to speak for a vast army of grassroots citizens, but the reality is these groups are astroturf. They aren’t rooted in anything more than anti-gun animus. They’re also not nearly as down-to-earth with the people they claim to represent.

They’re a high-price, but cheap knockoff of the real thing. It’s fugazi grassroots.

NSSF has called them out in the past for their bought-and-paid-for activism and it’s time to do it again. Pull back the curtain and it’s easy to see that the antigun movement isn’t much more than a few billionaires and activist foundations pouring cash into their pet gun control projects…to the tune of over $400 million every year.

It’s also a willing media that goes right along with them, parroting half-truths and twisting narratives to demonize American gun owners and the firearm industry that serves them.

No more. Welcome Gun Rights Insights.

Gun Rights Insights is a new outreach initiative, including periodic videos, to pull back the veil that these anti-gun billionaires creep around telling America to give up their Second Amendment rights while they enjoy paid armed security. The “rules-for-thee, not-for-me” era must come to an end. That’s why NSSF’s Gun Rights Insights will be taking note of the gun control hypocrisy.

Good on these fine folks, and all the best to ’em; follows, the naming of hoplophobe names.

Ingrates

 How sharper than a toothless child it is to have a thankless serpent. Or, y’know, something like that.

So, you may ask – if we’re not very aligned ideologically, then it must be that we bring something to the party militarily?

Well, no…actually…we don’t matter that much militarily.

The USA has about 470 ships in its navy, including 11 aircraft carriers, 69 submarines, 75 destroyers… plus 110 new ships in the pipeline.

Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines. The UK does a little better, with about 60.

Meanwhile, the US has over 14,000 military aircraft. A staggering number.

Australia has 252 military aircraft. The UK has 556.

The US army has just shy of 1,000,000 uniformed personnel in its military. Australia has about 45,000.
The USA spends 3.4% ($968 billion) of its GDP on defence. Australia spends 2% ($36.4 billion). The US spends as much as the next 15 largest military-spending countries (including China) combined.

The USA has a fighting culture. The men shoot things (a lot) and hunt things, the veterans get favoured in everything from parking spots to boarding planes. A uniformed young man is thanked in the street a dozen times a day.

“Oh, the Americans and their guns!” we say, in our smug way. Yes, they have a warrior culture. We do not. We don’t have to, because we’re a leech on theirs.

Militarily, we don’t offer squat.

Meanwhile, look at the way Australia works against America’s interests by loving on China. China made us rich and we stay close. This is a Marxist regime with expansionist aims.

Again, you have to spend time in the USA to realise just how vast a gulf there is between us on China.

Europe, too. They let China have their way everywhere from Germany to Greenland, all the while importing Islam and sending their own people to court for saying hurty words.

Somehow, we have landed the deal of a lifetime with the USA that says, “when the baddies come, you’ll save us ok?” Because we can’t save ourselves.

And we live in peace. But we keep gnawing away at freedoms, keep enabling China, and get flabby and disinterested about our military because Uncle Sam’s got it.

And, let’s be honest, Americans are widely looked down on. To add insult to injury, we don’t think that highly of our protectors.

So, the USA is finally saying “enough.” I am here, I can tell you what the vibe is, and that’s it. Trump is doing what people want in this regard. They’re over it.

And we come across all shocked and hard done by. We behave like people with no self-insight at all.

Yes, the global alliance system is all over the place now. From America’s perspective, it’s about time.

And I must say, though I be a proud Australian, I am forced to agree. Something has to change.

Oh, you just bet your sweet bippy it will—sooner or later, for better or worse, one way or another.

What a TRUE ally looks like

This right here.

Milei wants Argentina’s US ‘strategic alliance’ to be ‘state policy’
President Milei says “South Atlantic is the strategic battleground of the coming decades” and that Argentina will be in tune with the United States.

President Javier Milei says he wants to make the “strategic alliance” with the United States led by ally President Donald Trump a “state policy.”

In a state of the nation address to Congress on Sunday night, the La Libertad Avanza leader said “the South Atlantic is the strategic battleground of the coming decades,” arguing Argentina must be a “player” in the region.

“Trade routes, natural resources, maritime sovereignty and the growing presence of actors who do not share our values. Whoever controls it will control a key part of global trade. Argentina has to be that actor,” he argued.

“We must create the century of the Americas: Make Americas Great Again, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego,” declared Milei.

“We have the critical minerals that the West needs. We have the energy – gas, oil, nuclear power and renewable energy – to supply large-scale production chains.”

He talked up Argentina’s location at the southern tip of the Americas, noting it has “access to two oceans and a presence in Antarctica.”

On his alliance with the US and Trump, Milei’s government backed Washington’s strikes on Iran that began on Saturday and put Argentina on high alert.

To hell with Not-Great Britainistan, France, Churrmany, Spain, et al ad nauseum. Who needs those treacherous, back-stabbing Euroweenies, anyhow? They haven’t really been allies of this nation since WW2 ended, perhaps even longer. Time to give them the old heave-ho, then, and make way for what Milei aptly calls the Century of the Americas.

Praise him with great praise

In which I will cheerfully eat every nasty, insulting word I ever said about Big John Fetterman.

Fetterman Chooses Country Over Party After Iran Operation
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) backed the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran without hesitation, calling Operation Epic Fury entirely appropriate, and said eliminating Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the un-alived supreme leader of Iran, removed one of the most dangerous figures in modern history.

Well, whaddya know about that. Turns out, there IS one last sane, sensible, patriotic Democrat after all. Good on ya, John.

President Donald Trump confirmed the mission targeted senior regime leadership gathered in Tehran, with early reports stating roughly 40 to 50 of the top Iranian officials were killed in the attack’s early wave. Fetterman didn’t hedge, asking why anybody would grieve leaders of a regime tied to terror networks and decades of repression. He said that Americans should recognize the strategic impact of removing the head of a government that funds violence across the world.

Fetterman’s stance again puts him at odds with several Democratic colleagues who questioned the legality and timing of the strikes. He described their reactions as bizarre. He pointed to the regime’s record, including the 1988 mass executions of political prisoners that killed an estimated 30,000 dissidents under orders tied to regime leadership, making clear the target wasn’t the Iranian people, just the regime.

Vice President JD Vance stated that the administration’s objectives remain preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Fetterman said he’d oppose efforts to restrict the president’s authority under the War Powers Resolution.

Because Fetterman’s policy beliefs keep him planted firmly on the left, Fetterman won’t switch parties. But when national security comes into focus, he regularly breaks from progressive orthodoxy and takes a position rooted in deterrence and strength. In a chamber full of Congresscritters using scripted responses, his statements read as uncommon steadiness.

Don’t they just.

Praise, newfound respect, sincere thanks, unstinting acknowledgement from Real American Normals of the man’s plainspoken common sense—with the above well-reasoned, intelligent remarks, Big John Fetterman has earned every last plaudit Our Side can lavish upon him, even if we don’t necessarily agree with him on much else.

Remembrance

Steyn on Limbaugh, now five years (!!) gone.

Five years ago today, a couple of hours before airtime, I was pottering about getting ready to guest-host The Rush Limbaugh Show when the telephone rang. It was Kraig Kitchin, his longtime friend (and head of the network that distributed his show), calling to break the news that Rush had died earlier that morning.

Post-Limbaugh, talk radio seems smaller to me than it once did – not just because Rush had a big personality, but because he managed to fit the flotsam and jetsam of the news cycle into the big picture. Whatever topic he’d alight on, he would enlarge, and connect to the great coursing currents of the age. He was also incredibly, naturally funny. I have nothing against any of his successors up and down the dial, but, on the very rare occasions I switch on the radio in his time-slot, it’s not the same.

Three years ago, the anniversary of Rush’s death fell on the day of our weekly Clubland Q&A. It wasn’t intended to be a one-hour remembrance of America’s anchorman, but, because listeners had so many questions about him and his show, it somehow turned into one. Listening to it later, I thought it was worth a re-broadcast – not just for the questions and answers, but for other aspects, too: a musical selection courtesy of his beloved Kathryn, a brief evocation of my guest-hosting days, and the last words Rush ever spoke on air.

Read the rest, natch. Steyn was far and away the best of El Rushbo’s stable of guest-hosts if you ask me, and if this short piece is any indication, is quite a dab hand as an obituarist as well.

—Charles Bukowski

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

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion.

—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."

—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."
