Trans, vegan death cult?

Turns out there is one. No, really.

It was a frost-bitten day in late January this year. On the Interstate 91 in Vermont, some 15 kilometres from the Canadian border, US border agents pulled over a blue Toyota Prius.

Law enforcement had been tracking the Prius’s two occupants, 21-year-old Teresa ‘Milo’ Youngblut and 26-year-old Felix ‘Ophelia’ Bauckholt for a couple of days. A hotel employee had raised suspicions about the pair after seeing them both wearing black combat clothes and seeing Youngblut carrying a gun. But beyond that, the agents knew little more about them.

The Prius came to a stop. Youngblut stepped out of the car. And then all hell broke loose. Youngblut began shooting, while Bauckholt also reached for a gun. In the ensuing firefight, border agent David Maland was killed, as was Bauckholt. Youngblut herself was eventually arrested.

The police soon discovered that the bloody confrontation near the Canadian border was part of something bigger. They were holding only the outermost threads of a strange and bloody web involving a small, bizarre group known as the Zizians.

The Zizians – named after their unofficial founder, 34-year-old Jack Amadeus ‘Ziz’ LaSota – had already gained a degree of notoriety over two years earlier. In November 2022, at a trailer park in Vallejo, California, a resident received an early-morning knock on his door. It was his landlord, Curtis Lind. ‘I’m dying’, the 80-year-old Lind said as he collapsed through the door, a katana sword protruding from his body. He was missing an eye and blood was ‘squirting’ from multiple stab wounds. Lind’s tenant called the emergency services and, miraculously, he survived this attack.

Lind claimed he had been attacked by a group of youngish people – Alexander ‘Somni’ Leatham, Tessa ‘Suri Dao’ Berns and Amir ‘Emma’ Borhanian – living on one of Lind’s trailer lots since early 2020. Neighbours had long referred to the group as ‘the cult’, on account of their bizarre behaviour. They were all trans, strolled around the site naked, carried weapons and staunchly refused to eat anything non-vegan.

Hooooo-KAY, then. Incredible as it may seem, the story gets even more bizarre from there. No, really.

Update! Has “trans” hit a turning point?

The Day the Trans Movement ‘Jumped the Shark’
The Minnesota school shooting was shocking and appalling. The perpetrator (who doesn’t deserve to be named — “deadname,” new name, or otherwise) was seemingly motivated by a litany of leftwing grievances against Christians (Catholics), President Trump, Israel, and other right-of-center bogeymen. Included in the madman’s notebook was a “defend equality” sticker with an LGBTQIA flag forebodingly placed over a gun.

It also marked a turning point in how the trans community is perceived by the rest of the country.

For most of the last decade, liberal activists weaponized “trans rights,” using it as a club to bash traditional gender roles, mock religion, and attack the so-called patriarchy. (Indeed, the Minnesota shooter used images of Jesus as target practice.) For liberals, it was less about what trans want — and all about how their pain could be exploited for political gain. So they pushed… and pushed… and pushed.

But they forgot that the PR pendulum always swings back.

It only takes one big moment to crystalize a shift in public sentiment — a landmark, high-profile event that captures how much we’ve “jumped the shark.” 

Last week in Minnesota, that’s exactly what happened. The shocking visuals have permanently changed how Americans see trans people: Instead of being perceived as vulnerable, they’re now seen as violent.

As well they should be, looks like. For example:

Horrific as it is, that list, of course, is by no stretch all-inclusive.

Deep Dive: Since 2020 Roughly 40% of Successful and Would-Be School Shooters Were Trans or Trans-Suspected, Data Shows
In the wake of the shooting at the Annunciation Catholic Church School in Minneapolis on Wednesday, we’re confronted with an uncomfortable but inevitable question: Is there some sort of correlation between transgenderism and mass school shootings?

This is, after all, the second time a transgender shooter has claimed lives at a Christian institution in about two years. This time, Robin Westman — born Robert — killed two and injured 17 more before killing himself. In 2023, in the Covenant School shooting, Audrey Elizabeth Hale — who identified as Aiden Hale — killed six and injured two.

And then there’s these:

In 2019, one of the two perpetrators at the STEM School Highlands Ranch identified as transgendered. Maya (Alec) McKinney was one of the two Colorado students charged and convicted in the shooting that killed four. McKinney, who was a juvenile at the time of the shooting, was sentenced as an adult and faced a mandatory sentence of life in prison. Born as a female, but identifying as a male, few media outlets — except CBS were willing to report that she was transgendered. Most legacy media like ABC refused to acknowledge the transgender identity of the shooter in their reports at her sentencing — choosing instead to describe the shooter as “Alec” instead of her given name.

The year before, in 2018, a few media outlets reported that a transgendered individual fatally shot three people and injured three others at a Maryland Rite Aid warehouse. The Harford County Sheriff’s Office revealed the identity of the shooter as Snochia Moseley, age 26, as being a “transgender African American of Baltimore County who was a temporary worker at the facility.” Moseley shot herself in the head and later died of her wounds at the hospital. But, of course, CNN was unable to be straightforward in its coverage of the event and instead, published an article with the headline: “Why Maryland’s Shooter’s Gender is so Confounding.” Claiming that since most mass shooters are male, it was puzzling why Snochia could have done such a thing.

The transgender link is clear in each of these shootings. Yet, few in the media or the public will acknowledge this. And when there is a shooting in which the perpetrator’s gender is ambiguous, everyone seems to be afraid to even ask questions about their gender identity. This occurred following the Houston megachurch shooting in 2024 when a shooter was identified as transgender by some conservative media outlets, but the Houston police contradicted those reports by confirming that the shooter, Genesse Moreno, was indeed a woman and did not identify as transgender — even though she used a male alias and called herself “Jeffrey.”

And even this is just a drop in the bucket. Gee, what a shock, that deeply disturbed people afflicted by serious delusions regarding their gender might also be subject to other forms of mental disorder, such as a penchant for violence.

When you’d rather have your arm broken during a carjacking than see Cheetoh Hitler do something about crime

Houston, she has a problem—a BIIIIIG problem. In fact, we all do…worse, when you get right down to it it’s the same damned problem.

An AWFL Made a Post About Trump’s Crime Crackdown, and It Broke the Internet
The most delusional, destructive demographic on the planet has struck again. No, I’m not talking about Islamic terrorists or Chinese communists. I’m talking about affluent, white, female liberals.

In the wake of President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown, which is reportedly heading to Chicago next, an absolute unit of an AWFL stepped forth to deliver a post that broke the internet. Her name is Jill Ciminillo, and she wants you to know that she was carjacked in Chicago. Not only that, but she had her arm broken by the criminals who violently attacked her. In fact, she posted pictures of her bruising to prove it, along with a smiling selfie of her cast.

Through all the pain and turmoil, she was not deterred. Her total hatred of Donald Trump shone through, as she announced she’d rather be carjacked and beaten than have the president help stop crime in her city. Jill Ciminillo, the alpha AWFL, had spoken, and the internet broke.

As ratios go, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one as bad as this. She eventually deleted her post, but not before it garnered over 18,000 replies. By then, the damage was done, and the internet had officially been broken.

Bonch embeds the TiQ (Tweet in Question) which features Mz CrayCray McNutjob’s rant along with a still of her wrecked arm, and it’s a laff riot.

Cracker Barrel breakdown

So first, there was this:

A YUUUGE change for sure and certain! Next up, I’ve had DEI dragon-slayer Robbie Starbuck’s exposé sitting in an open tab for several days now. Transcript:

Cracker Barrel has been one of the most loved brands in America for decades… That changed this week with a logo redesign that infuriated the public but… the problem goes MUCH deeper than a logo.

@CrackerBarrel has gone fully woke and now it’s time to expose everything.

Here’s the highlights you need to know:

  • Cracker Barrel has funded “all ages” Pride events for many years like Nashville Pride and Third River City Pride.
  • Cracker Barrel worked with the far left HRC organization and reportedly sponsored HRC events for 10 years. They even brought an HRC representative to their Tennessee HQ to do a pronoun and transgenderism training. We’ve included photos of this in the video. As a reminder, the HRC supports child sex changes and men in women’s bathrooms. They work to normalize/legalize both things and they work to force transgenderism in the workplace.
  • Cracker Barrel worked with a group called Conexión Américas as part of their DEI efforts. This group helps illegal immigrants, providing them lawyers and the executive director opposes President Trump’s deportations. 
  • Cracker Barrel sponsored the Out & Equal LGBTQ Workplace Advocate Conference and presented a workshop on how Cracker Barrel has made progress supporting LGBTQ+ causes. This group works to push sexual topics and pronouns into the workplace.
  • Cracker Barrel was awarded Out & Equal’s 2018 top LGBT ERG group award and they won the Nashville LGBT Chamber of Commerce “Corporate Diversity” award.
  • CB created a special “diverse” suppliers program focused on increasing “diversity” among suppliers. To most people this just reads as: less white people.
  • Had Coming out day pamphlets passed out at their TN headquarters as well as pamphlets about supporting “LGBTQ YOUTH” and creating “Safe Zones” at work, free from “heterosexist or cwordgendered comments and actions” (X will downrank my post if I spell that word out). If you said anything activists would describe as “heterosexist” then you were told that you’d be “educated” by their LGBT office group.
  • CB has had multiple DEI focused employees and had CB employees attend DEI roundtables.
  • CB had pride flags at their corporate office.
  • CB promoted the Stonewall riot to employees and on their website despite the fact that the Stonewall Inn was reportedly owned by the mafia, rife with drug dealing and also the site of teen “prostitution” for older men. 
  • Had a Cracker Barrel employee on the HRC’s business advisory council.
  • Has ERG groups in the office that are divided by race and sexual preferences.
  • A total commitment to DEI policies.
  • CB has had MANY activist employees driving this far left policy agenda, including a head of training + management, top execs and a board of directors member who owns a DEI consulting firm.

To put it mildly, Cracker Barrel has forgotten who their core customers are. It’s time for us to remind them.

They depend on YOU to keep their business afloat so now YOU have to ask yourself: Do you want to fund people or companies that hate your values?

It’s time to remind them who their customers are.

If you think their values don’t align with yours and you’re a customer who wants to speak out, you can write to them here: https://guestrelations.crackerbarrel.com/s/contactsupport

Reporters can also call their reporter hotline at: 615-235-4135 or email them: media.relations@crackerbarrel.com

Remember to ALWAYS BE KIND. Many in customer service agree with you. Being rude hurts our cause!

I give everyone permission to use my video and what we found to make your own content. You can rip this, clip this, make your own content, etc. You can even monetize my video. Just get this information to everyone you know. We have to take our power back as consumers. Every company needs to get the message that THIS ENDS NOW.

Oh, you just bet your sweet bippy it WON’T end now, Rob, more’s the pity. Cracker Barrel itself may end, but the Wokester juggernaut will keep right on keepin’ on, seeking that which it may devour.

Last but not least, Sean Davis sums the whole contretemps up rather nicely, in another Tweet/X/whatevs that I’ll provide a complete transcript of rather than embed and have to deal with that irritating “Show more…” Shinola.

The real reason Cracker Barrel has been struggling is that its service and food quality nose-dived after COVID, and instead of fixing that, the company and its woke executives decided to go full Bud Light and taste the rainbow and dare its customers to object. 

They stopped bringing you biscuits and cornbread as a matter of course, then they shrunk them, the food started to taste and look reheated instead of freshly prepared, and the service got slower and sloppier. Everyone who’s been a loyal customer over the years has experienced this. It’s undeniable.

Those are admittedly tricky problems to fix, especially given how service quality everywhere has sucked after COVID. It’s hard to find wait staff and cooks who always show up when they’re supposed to and take pride in their work.

Cracker Barrel executives refused to address those problems—problems that any customer would’ve pointed out had they bothered to ask. Instead, the executives went all-in on woke alphabet BS: DEI this, BLM that, LGBT whatever. 

Because that’s what people want at an old country diner: gay race communism shoved in their faces. 

The stupid rebrand in which executives stripped every last bit of charm and character from the company and its restaurants and stores was just the latest in a long line of attempts to set money on fire by breaking what didn’t need to be fixed and refusing to fix what was obviously broken.

Cracker Barrel had the simplest restaurant model possible, and it was one that made people fall and stay in love with the brand for decades: comfort food in a setting that reminded you of your grandparents’ home. The food was good, the people were kind, and the setting felt like a loving home filled with people who cared about each other. That was it.

And the moronic executives who’ve now destroyed something like $2 billion worth of that company’s value since 2020 have decided the last little bit of charm left in the place needed to have its soul ripped out and covered up with ship lap and geometric artwork and consultant-approved off-white paint. Forget your grandmother’s home-cooking after church—this is now IHOP by Joanna Gaines, complete with gay pride rainbows and in-your-face DEI sloganeering.

Cracker Barrel wasn’t just a company or a restaurant. It represented a slice of Americana that millions would desperately like to return to. A time where people worked with their hands, and prayed before meals, and didn’t bother locking their doors at night. The old soda signs reminded us that our money wasn’t always worthless and our country wasn’t always run by greedy bankers. We used to be a country that built things and conquered the frontier.

That’s the feeling that Cracker Barrel used to evoke, and it’s what made its customers so loyal. It’s why people would stop there for lunch during a long road trip instead of just grabbing fast food and getting back on the highway. It’s why people were happy to wait 30 minutes for a table after Sunday School and happily mill about the store until their table was ready.

And it’s that feeling and that America which the woke parasites in charge of Cracker Barrel deliberately sought to maliciously destroy. They refused to fix the actual problems and instead decided the real problem was its own customers, which it set out to re-educate.

I hope they had their fun, because Cracker Barrel is done. They killed it, wrapped the corpse in a rainbow flag, and then made it do a little puppet show in New York City for the entertainment of all their woke little friends. If the stupid woke CEO Julie Felss Masino had the sense to lose the dumb prop glasses and stop looking down her nose at the millions of people who used to frequent Cracker Barrel, it would’ve been obvious to see.

But no. It was beyond her capabilities. It’s not that she’s dumb. Poor woke little Julie is just plain “eg-no-ra-moose.”

Dumb? Well, no more than every shitlib is, I guess. But like others of her loathsome ilk, she’s all too accustomed to getting her way, thus will most assuredly learn nothing from this gratuitous little episode, and will just pick her little self up, dust her little self off, and move on to her next project of mass destruction.

Update! A cri de coeur.


Also via the above-linked AoSHQ post.

Updated update! A small victory.

The People Have Spoken: Cracker Barrel Caves
Cracker Barrel announced on Tuesday evening that it’s giving up its rebranding plan—or, at least, doing away with its new generic logo and bringing back its “Old Timer.”

It also looks like the company scrubbed its X account and removed the LGBTetc. page from its website.

All well and good, and I’m happy to see it. BUT…near as I can make out, the Wokester/shitlib CEO is still in place, and I gravely doubt she’s adjusted her thinking as regards the need to educate Cracker Barrel’s staid, stuffy, RAYCISS!©, misogynist, homo/transphobic, unenlightened customer base about the vitally critical critically vital importance of making sure gays, Groomers, “transgenders,” kiddy-diddlers, et al feel “seen,” and aren’t “marginalized,” “shamed,” or “excluded” for being “different” at any Cracker Barrel restaurant.

In other words, is this gesture of newfound respect for the views cherished by their most loyal customers a permanent thing, or is it just a knee-jerk response to the feeding frenzy of fury and indignation the CB leadership brought down on itself, an expedient PR maneuver that will be rescinded the moment Cracker Barrel executives think nobody’s watching?

We’ll see, I reckon.

Who they are, what they do

Ladies and germs, just another typical day of your D卐M☭CRAT Party hard at…well, at something, anyway.



Re: that first one up top, Ace has ya covered on the further details.

George and Alex Soros financed another rally in support of the MS-13 terrorist and human trafficker Albrego-Garcia.

Democrat Senator and TikTok Influencer Chris Van Hollen met with the human trafficker again, to support him.

You may remember that Albrego-Garcia was and is an illegal alien who was ordered deported from the US. He was never granted any kind of legal status. He conned one judge into believing that he had a “reasonable fear” of attacks by an El Salvadoran gang — probably because he murdered the mother of one of those gang members — and was barred from being deported to El Salvador, only.

So now Trump is sending his human-trafficking mother-murdering ass to a safe third country, Uganda.

But what’s this? Suddenly Albrego-Garcia has developed a “reasonable fear” of persecution in Uganda, too!!!

What a highly fortunate 11th-hour phobia to develop!!!

I know, right? Why, what an incredible coinkydink! One last reminder of who they’ve always been, what they’ve always done.


There really ain’t no way to make that better, but good on these folks for trying just the same.


BOTTOM LINE: The D卐M☭CRAT (criminal organization masquerading as a political) Party should—MUST, actually—be broken up and permanently banned, all its members executed for treason. Yeah, they’re guilty of many other high crimes and misdemeanors as well, but what the hey, we can only hang ‘em once.

Update! Yes, execute this shitlib Hack In Black too.

Federal judges are at it again. Another Obama appointee has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The Hill reports:

A federal judge on Monday doubled down that the Trump administration is “absolutely forbidden” from removing mistakenly deported man Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the U.S., for now.

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, an appointee of former President Obama, blocked Abrego Garcia’s deportation to Uganda until she can hold a hearing to determine whether the administration will let him contest his removal to the third country.

Here we go again.

Indeed. So how many more times will Real Americans put up with this shit before they decide to stand up and do the necessary, then?

Islamic studies

CBD posts an excellent course of instruction.

Islam is a revolutionary political philosophy that uses an ersatz religion to manipulate and motivate its adherents. The Twelvers sect of Shia Islam is a particularly nutty branch that specifically seeks the apocalypse to usher in the return of Muhammad al-Mahdi, the twelfth Imam. That means America and Israel must be destroyed!

But all is well! Only about 85% of Shia Islam believe that! Of course Iran is the most prominent Twelver Shia country, because they have assiduously pursued that goal for the last 46 years…bankrupting the country, throwing it back into the dark ages, and fomenting terrorism throughout the world. On the way it created a comprehensive police state, and cultivated terrorist proxies in the Middle East: Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis are the big ones, but there are others in Bahrain and Iraq, and Syria.

But the biggest and most expensive effort is of course Iran’s efforts to design and build nuclear weapons. And not just any nuclear weapon…they want ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads! And that requires highly enriched uranium and significant engineering. No shipping container bombs for Iran! They want the best!

And for what? The destruction of Israel is number one. The destruction of America is number two. On the way they might take shots at Europe, and maybe Saudi Arabia; the center of Sunni Islam. That would be a bonus, but their real target is Israel.

And they will never stop. The raison d’être of the Iranian Mullahs and their lunatic acolytes is the arrival of the twelfth Imam, and nothing will deflect them from that goal. Nothing will stop their nuclear aspirations. Nothing will stop their support for terrorist organizations across the globe. Nothing will moderate their maniacal desire for the world to go up in nuclear flames.

Except regime change.

Annnnd BINGO, there you have it: the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Weep, wail, and piss yourself over it, it ain’t gonna change a single thing. Unpleasant, wildly popular, dispiriting, enheartening, reviled, and/or unanimously endorsed or not, the facts remain the facts, the truth remains the truth. Whether you choose to sit back, calm down, grow a pair, and take your medicine like a grown man regardless of how nasty it tastes, or you’re more the type to set your hair alight, zoom around in small circles waving your arms and shrieking deliriously, reality doesn’t give a whoop in Hell what you might think.

Reality can often be stubborn as a dadblame mule, which makes it clear as a mountain spring to every girl, boy, woman, or man* that nobody but a serious candidate for a rubber room at the Ha-Ha Hotel along with one of those nice, hard-to-find jackets that buckle in back would actually expect that cold, indifferent reality might just go away and leave people alone.

PRO TIP: It won’t.

The Mullahs will not, probably CAN not, willingly abandon the “religion” founded by their hallucinatory Pedophile Prophet. The one, the only way Moslems will abandon Pisslam is to force them to. And the one, the only to do that is by the application of massive violence, bloodshed in not just buckets but rivers, and defeating them utterly, Curtis LeMay-style. Sadly, I see no sign that pampered, soft-handed Westerners retain the determination, the courage, the strength of will to do either of those things, let alone both—which are non-negotiable requirements to eradicate the jihadi threat once and for all.

At the end of the day it all boils down to this: eradicating the jihadi threat of necessity means eradicating the jihadis. Next steps along the road to dignity, honor, and righteousness will be to face up to that harsh truth; acknowledge the suicidal futility of attempting to dispute an obvious truth. Then and only then will you have readied yourself to act as if you really mean it this time. Anything less than a full, frank, honest assessment of the slavering beast you must do battle with and you might as well go ahead and surrender, you’re just jerking off here. Get back to me when you’re ready to get serious about seeing this thing through to the very end.

The Iranian regime represents a threat which is real, credible, and cannot be nullified via Western conscience-balming fripperies such as sanctions, treaties, pallets of cash, or windy threats of an impending reckoning that never seems to come. The primitive totalitarian belief system Shrubya disgraced himself for all time when he misrepresented Pisslam as “the Religion Of Peace” will remain a “clear and present danger” to Western Civ (Tom Clancy’s words) for as long as there’s so much as a small handful of maniacal Moslems left alive and free to dream big dreams, plot, and prepare the Faithful for the return of Allah (Piss Be Upon Him) to his Earthly throne. The only question staring us in the face at this point is simple: what, if anything, are we going to do about this?

The mortal threat posed by Iran’s Mad Mullahs and their pseudo-religion will, like the Sword of Damocles, dangle over Western heads for as long as We Duh Sheeple keep tolerating the intolerable; excusing the inexcusable; celebrating the wilfully blind for being visionaries, the drooling, ineducable retards for their intelligence, and the weak, frail, and sickly for their might, endurance, and robustness; foolishly swallowing whole the cliched falsehoods which contend…

  • That “the pen is mightier than the sword”
  • That “diversity (ONLY of skin color, NEVER of thought) is our strength”
  • That the chemical sterilization, irreversible surgical mutilation, and brainwashing of children is more properly referred to as “gender-affirming care”

Ironic, innit, that the above list contains both a few of the reasons for our downfall and, simultaneously, some of the things that convinced the Muzzies that conquering Western armies, political leaders, and civilian noncombatants had leapfrogged over several lower-level items, rising from merely desirable albeit of little or no importance, but was now an absolute imperative, Priority Numero Uno on Mohammed’s honey-do list.

Happily for them, every devout Moslem intuitively understands that the more Western infidels he puts to the sword and dispatches, the wider Allah smiles down on his faithful warriors. For your average jihadi it amounts to a can’t-lose proposition: you either survive to be feted as a heroic Defender of the Faith, or you die in battle, whereupon your immortal soul ascends to Paradise. Which is when you wake up and leap off whatever you’d been lying on, totally confusticated as to where you are, how you got there, and why you’re there in the first place.

You waste no more than a minute or two on unravelling this tangled skein of mystery, then another bizarre bolt from Deep Blue Nowhere strikes: somehow, you seem to have lost every stitch of clothing you had on before you awakened. Seeing as how you have no memory of undressing yourself before your nap, somebody must have stripped you of your clothes and absconded with ‘em as a prank. Ah well, time to enjoy those 72 delicious raisins Allah promised you’d receive on arrival in…dare I say it?…Paradise?

Hey, hold up a minute there, fella. Was that supposed to be 72 lovely, sloe-eyed, leggy, round-assed, big-titty virgins our Junior Jihadi would be getting, not a double-handful of dried out, wrinkly old grapes, a true Booby Prize if ever there was one? Former grapes which, strangely enough, have twice the hassle and one-fifth the flavor of plump, juicy, sun-ripened, vine-fresh, hand-picked grapes? Converted no-longer grapes so tough and chewy it wouldn’t be terribly unfair to crack jokes about these grapes/raisins/virgins/whatthefuckever being, and I quote:

SO, then. Having taken every Comparative Religion course my college offered (just because I found both the subject matter and its instructor to be interesting, enjoyable, and worth delving into), I seem to recall reading in one of my second-year textbooks a hit-and-run summation of the Twelvers cult and their obsessive belief in the  return of the long-ago decomposed Twelfth Imam (he “disappeared” in 878 AD, which casts grave doubt that there might actually still be enough of him left to justify sweeping it up and attempting to reanimate), the post-Apocalypse societal order, and Islamic supremacist dogma ages and ages ago, although to be perfectly honest I haven’t given most of the stuff I learned a whole heck of a lot of thought since departing the Halls of Academe for a good-paying (in 1981 money, that is) job as a pickup and delivery driver at a long-since-defunct air freight company.

The truly scary bit, though, is this (bold mine, so’s you won’t miss it):

Even President Trump, whose understanding of the Muslim world is far more impressive than any other modern president’s, believes that a “deal” can be struck with Iran. That didn’t prevent him from ordering the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, but will he do it again in two years when they have begun to rebuild and have perhaps recovered some or all of their enriched uranium from the rubble? Or will President Vance order another strike in four years, or President Sanders in 12 years?

President *shudder* SANDERS?!? Saints preserve us! Or, to repurpose one of many stirring lines from Patrick Henry’s eternally-relevant speech: FORBID IT, ALMIGHTY GOD!!

President Sanders, the man says. Hideous as the prospect is, y’all know as well as I do that, in Amerika v2.0 as currently constituted—to wit: dumb as a hatfull of assholes thanks to a government school K-12 “education”; gullible as a toddler; easily manipulated; Commie-curious; bi-curious too these days, especially the young males who’ve found themselves sorely beset on every side for “toxic masculinity”—it’s not only possible, it’s damned likely. Looks like this is yet another of those occasions when I pray he’s wrong, but fear he ain’t.

* Why yes, as a matter of fact I DO dig me some Canned Heat, what makes you ask?

From Kenny – The Real Reason for the Epstein Blowup

In a Daily comment Kenny uncovers the reason for the epstein blowup – trying to divert attention from the fantastic economic news. The Comment:

Last Friday it was reported that the Fed Gov ran a surplus for the month of June. I missed it then and saw it yesterday. I went to look at the report and the details.

But the lede was buried. Here’s some extraordinary facts.

For the past 4 months (Mar, Apr, May, June 2025), outlays aka Fed Spending is DOWN year over year compared to the same 4 months in 2024. When can you recall that happening? Given an inflation rate of 2.3% the Real Spending is down even more.

Revenues are UP over that same period.

So, the Deficit is already trending well downward. The last 2 months compared to last year it’s down 31%. From 418B to 290B. That’s not seasonally adjusted. At a 30% rate the deficit from last year of 1.9T could be 1.3T over the 12 months ending June 2026.

It’s still a lot, but that’s a vast improvement and he’s really just getting started. The Big Beautiful Law just kicked in, the Courts have been rebuked with their injunctions and the tariffs only hit a few months ago.

Don’t believe the FUD, it’s a sequel.
That’s why they’re trying to pivot to Epstein.

Don’t let them get away with it again. It’s why they released the scamVirus in the Trump first term.

Update_1:
Now he is free to focus on the things he needs to do to make America great again- the economy, jobs, GDP, bringing manufacturing back to the USA, tariffs, pushing Fed Chief Jerome Powell to resign, so we can get lower interest rates; getting rid of income taxes; ending the threat of WW3; sealing the border; expanding the mass deportation; getting rid of DEI in government, military, corporations and colleges; removing transgender brainwashing from our schools; getting boys out of girls sports events; and making elections honest again by getting Voter ID passed, preventing illegal aliens from voting, and removing illegal aliens from the census count.

Update_2:
According to a report by JustTheNews, Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, and other high-level Obama-era operatives have been named in the investigation, which shows a coordinated criminal conspiracy to target political enemies, shield Democrat allies, and manipulate multiple presidential elections — from 2016 through 2024. But it gets better: The probe may now shift jurisdiction to Florida — thanks to none other than Special Counsel Jack Smith’s own raid on Mar-a-Lago.

Can you smell the FEAR in DC?

Update_3:

Per Kenny’s suggestion, my list of Trump Term 1 accomplishments. It’s not everything, just some of those that I thought important enough to be reminded of whenever some nutcase tried to pretend that Trump was unable to accomplish anything…

1) stopped ISIS cold
2) EO stopping the drug companies from charging medicare more than what they charged foreign countries
3) EO forcing hospitals to disclose their prices
4) Move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem
5) ENERGY INDEPENDENCE for the first time in my lifetime of 70 years, and record low energy prices
6) Started no new wars
6A) Abraham Accords, bringing peace to the middle east instead of war
7) Elimination of regulations, required to eliminate 8 to add a new one
8) Cut Taxes across the board
9) Increased the individual tax credit eliminating the need to file more complicated returns
10) Started the space force, sorely needed today
11) Replaced NAFTA with an agreement better for American workers
12) Put tariffs on china, starting the process of moving American production out of the enemy’s land
13) Brought back massive amounts of money saved in foreign countries

There is much more of course.

That’s just a short list. Trump did this by himself, with little to no help from the republican party opposition from the republican party and the democrats. He did this while the deep state through the FBI, intelligence agencies, congress, and the DOJ were conducting illegal surveillance and investigations. But Trump didn’t falter, didn’t stop. He just kept on working.

No one else was capable of doing this, no one else has ever done this, no one else will.

The incredible disappearing “client list”

Tonight’s Eyrie submission casts a jaundiced eye upon the Trump admin’s self-beclownment via unforced error concerning the too-conveniently phantasmagorical, now you see it-now you don’t Epstein client list. Coinky-dinkally enough, our bigly esteemed blog-colleague Ken Layne posts a bit of relevant meme-ology over at his crib. To wit:

 

Mo’ bettah.

The not-subtle, courteous-to-a-fault complaint tacitly made in that second meme above—using a sotto voce which reeks of hopelessness and despair as the realization sinks in at last: there will never be a reckoning for any of the well-connected frequent fliers on the Lolita Express—is sure to leave a powerfully bitter taste in the mouths of even the most placid, steadfastly unflappable Real Americans.

Those folks are a decent, justly proud albeit unassuming breed—endowed as individuals from birth, seemingly, with inexhaustible reserves of equanimity—whose interest in, patience for, and/or willingness to put up with ceaseless torrents of breathlessly gushing Hot Breaking News!!© reportage (despite the aforementioned equanimity) are in the main so grudgingly extended, greedily infinitesimal, and short-lived as to be undetectable using any method, process, or device known to modern science.

Or, to lay a-holt of a hoary, innocuous blogospherical catchphrase we’ve all heard a blue million times already and stand it on its head, so to speak:

This time, it AIN’T funny ‘cause it’s true.

Update! Looks like it is ON.

BONDI OR BONGINO: Bongino Won’t Remain At FBI If Bondi Keeps Job, Source Says
Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi have sparred over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Dan Bongino, the Deputy Director of the FBI, is threatening to leave the bureau if Attorney General Pam Bondi remains on the job, a source close to Bongino tells The Daily Wire.

Bongino is reportedly furious with Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, which has led many to believe he could walk away from the job that he took in February. The source close to Bongino said that he’s effectively issued an ultimatum, saying he won’t work alongside Bondi.

Bongino left a lucrative career in broadcasting to take the job in the Trump administration. He was not present at the FBI on Friday, after a reported spat with the attorney general earlier this week over the Epstein situation.

The rift between Bongino and Bondi intensified on Wednesday, days after the Department of Justice announced there was no evidence to prove that child rapist Jeffrey Epstein had a client list, had blackmailed powerful people, or had been murdered. Bondi had promised to reveal major details in the case five months ago, when there were no massive revelations to bring forward.

The deputy FBI director, who raised questions about Epstein’s death before he was in the Trump administration, said in May that his review of the file and hours of video recording from Epstein’s jail proved that the child abuser committed suicide. FBI Director Kash Patel also said that the evidence the bureau has reviewed shows that Epstein was not murdered.

A source close to the Justice Department told The Daily Wire that Patel also wants Bondi gone, and that he would consider departing alongside Bongino. The source also said that Patel wants Bondi to unseal more documents.

I have to say, this whole shit-circus has left me mighty damned disappointed in Ms Bondi. Which, I hate that, actually; I had terrifically high hopes for that gal back when Trump first picked her for AG. Now, though? Not so much, sad to say.

Of course, we don’t know the whole story here, possibly never will. That said, though, I’m thinking Trump’s people are going to find it extremely tough to reconcile the fact that Bondi explicitly stated back in February that she had the client list sitting on her desk among a bunch of other heretofore unreleased material and that she’d be releasing the whole kit and kaboodle the following Monday, IIRC, with the current admin claims that there IS no client list; that there never WAS any client list; that all the hinky aspects of Epstein’s purported “suicide” never actually happened, etc.

So what goes on here, anyway? As pretty much everybody knows by now,  or should know at any rate, the clumsy “Epstein committed suicide” ploy didn’t pass the smell test; right from the beginning, there was evidence aplenty indicating something entirely Else, great interlocking. mutually-supporting heaps of it. Now, though, the Trump team tries to tell us that there’s “no evidence?”

Sorta calls to mind Praetorian Media’s continually repeated refrain, from mid-November 2020 on, sniffily dismissing “Trump’s baseless claims” of election jiggery-pokery, a rousing Halleluja Chorus of “no evidence” for fraud, tampering, ballot-box stuffing, phonus-balonus absentee/early ballots, &c—the list goes on from there, and it is by no means a short one.

Sorry, Mr President sir, but anybody who’s even half-heartedly paid attention to the Everest of clear, documentary evidence in support of contentions of massive, systemic fraud rife before, during, and after the 2020 Presidential “election” knows better.

This just might be the most unappetizing tidbit from the whole rancid, offputting shit-sandwich.

“In February, I did an interview on Fox, and it’s been getting a lot of attention because … I was asked a question about the ‘client list’ and my response was, ‘It’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed, meaning the file, along with the JFK, MLK files as well,” Bondi said during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. “That’s what I meant by that.”

During that same Cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump blasted a reporter for asking Bondi about the Epstein case.

“That is unbelievable. … I mean I can’t believe you’re asking a question on Epstein at a time like this when we’re having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas,” Trump said. “It just seems like a desecration.”

“Desecration,” my withered, baggy ass. You say you want to drain the Swamp? Well, I can’t think of a better way to demonstrate just how serious you really are about it than by shining a bright light upon the sloppily-concealed facts surrounding the murder, by Swamp rats, of one of their fellow Swamp-dwellers who had was too much on them for their own comfort.

Deny it all you want to; play along with the Deep State éminences grise to your heart’s content. It doesn’t amount to a hill of beans at this point—they still won’t trust you, they’ll never trust you. Before long, they’ll decide it’s necessary to remove the threat you represent to them in their own minds. This, they will assuredly do, or hire it done, rather, only next time it won’t be some cognitively-impaired, maladjusted teenage whackjob on whom the Secret Service and/or FBI “security” personnel will helpfully turn their backs and avert their gaze from; preposition ladders, rifles, and/or other essential equipment; unlock doors, switch off interior lighting, and close blinds/curtains. After all those preps are done, “security” will spend whatever time remains before the scheduled first pull of the trigger on shrugging off credible reports of suspicious persons, movements, and/or behavior given by alarmed locals who witnessed what was going down at firsthand, in real time.

No, no more of that amateur-hour clowning around. Next time, the contract will be offered to none but seasoned professionals, who will preferably have extensive military sniper training and field expertise. Afterwards, the shooter will police up the general AO—cigarette butts, candy/gum wrappers, boot-prints, empty water bottles, spent brass (assuming he didn’t just rig one of those fancy-schmancy brass-catcher thingamabobbers over his weapon’s ejection port before heading out for the field, thereby making his life a heck of a lot easier). This is NOT the sort of task on which a true professional would ever dream of doing less than a one hundred and ten percent perfect job; after all, it’s his own ass he’ll be saving (or endangering) by it. As such, he will leave no traces of his physical presence behind for investigators to find layer, nor will there be any slightest hint of his ever having been in the vicinity at all.

Unless something goes horribly awry, the shooter’s name will never be known, his true identity a fanatically guarded secret shared only betwixt the three to six FederalGovCo bureaucreeps behind the whole op, ie the small cabal of secret plotters responsible for choosing, recruiting, hiring, and briefing the members of the hit team (a shooter, a spotter, a cpl of gear-humpers who will later double as back-watchers and perimeter guards—probably four (4) support personnel all told, five at most, the fewer the better. As an important codicil from the Hells Angels’ charter says: three can keep a secret only if two are dead).

The treasonous original conspirators will pay their SpecWar field operatives with cold, hard cash money, half in advance, half on completion of their mission: wrinkly, crinkly, tattered, battered, well-traveled US greenbux with nonsequential serial numbers in various denominations ranging from one-hundred dollar notes, then fifties, all the way down to a smattering of lowly double-sawbucks, said currency having been passed along, around, through, and among hands beyond counting.

Once the operators have been paid off in full, all involved parties will disappear like a thin fog wafting off the surface of a lake, this spectral condensation quickly cooking off into nothingness by the heat of the rising summer sun—a damp, chilly mist that vanishes faster than a cockroach caught square in the middle of the kitchen floor when you turn on the light. Same-same with the assassination-provoking, power-obsessed cock-a-roaches on two legs who, if they’re anything like as smart as their more-admirable Neopteran cousins, will likewise vanish, never to be seen or heard tell of again by we lower-caste denizens of the overt world.

Believe it, Mr President: you’ll never know what hit you.

The Disruptors

A “mostly peaceful” assault against DHS head Kristi Noem by lunatic Dem Senator Alex Padilla—who is now whining that actually, you guys, HE was the real victim here.


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.

President Blasts Federalist Society

Just more evidence that Trump learned a great deal in his first term. I learned that the Federalist Society was a group of power hungry marxists by their judge recommendations. I did not know, until now, if Trump learned that lesson.

Perhaps what black leftists in America interpret as “racism” is actually cultural burnout

Yes, mostly that’s it. As my few* remaining black friends have also noticed, it’s not racism, it’s the culture. Most people are tired of the culture of crime, the theft in the stores, the drug use, the children born without fathers in the home, the rate of incarceration due to criminal activity, murder, shootings. It’s the welfare city syndrome – every democrat run city has a culture problem and an education problem to go with the destruction of the city in general.

Tune it out. That’s what most of us do. More murder in inner city Baltimore/Detroit/Chicago/New Orleans/DC/etc? No young person in Baltimore city schools can read or do basic math when they “graduate” high school? Local store gets robbed, again?
I don’t care. The democrats that run the city sure don’t give a damn. No one else does either.

New Details Emerge About the Arsonist Who Attacked Pennsylvania Gov. Shapiro
So when Pennsylvania’s governor’s mansion was torched on the first night of Passover, only an ostrich spelunking in sand would discount antisemitism. The connection was just too freaking obvious!

Reality, alas, has a sneaky way of upsetting false narratives.

Earlier this morning, the story broke: “Pa. Gov. Shapiro was targeted for ‘what he wants to do to Palestinian people’”:

The suspect in the arson attack at the Governor’s Residence targeted Josh Shapiro due to his perceived stance on Palestine, according to a search warrant obtained by PennLive.

The suspect, Cody Balmer, called 911 following the attack early Sunday, identified himself by name and told operators Shapiro needs to know he “…will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people,” the search warrant written by police said.

Balmer continued, saying he needed to “stop having my friends killed” and that “…our people have been put through too much by that monster,” according to the warrant, which says Balmer’s intonation and cadence sounded like he was possibly reading from a script.

And who is the man who attacked the governor? Here’s another headline: “Accused Shapiro Attacker Is Self-Described “Socialist,” Fits Pattern of Political Violence”:

Balmer has a troubled past, and his social media history suggests he considers himself both an anarchist and a registered Socialist. His criminal record includes past charges of simple assault and forgery. In one bizarre post, he depicts himself wearing goggles, breathing fire and claiming that former President Joe Biden owes him $2,000.

According to his mother, Balmer suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and had stopped taking his medications prior to his attack on the Shapiro residence.

So that’s the real story: An unstable wackaloon was radicalized by the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas propaganda that the left proudly promotes, went off his meds, and tried to murder a prominent Jewish politician.

A rabid, violence-drunk, “Palestine” obsessed, Leftard Jew-hater—gee, didn’t see THAT coming.

Look, you can hate on (((***DemJooJooJooJOOOOZ!!!***))) all you like for all me; I’ve made my own position clear, it’s no skin off my nose one way or the other. But when you start heaving homemade Molotovs at people’s homes, trashing people’s expensive autos, threatening students/taking over college campuses, and vandalizing/burning legitimate businesses which have nothing whatever to do with said obsession, then you put yourself on the fightin’ side of me, bub.

In Amerika v2.0, it’s the same old same old

WELL, that certainly didn’t take long.

The ‘Victim’ Saga of Karmelo Anthony Gets Better As Details Emerge About the ‘Minister’ Backing Him
Earlier this month, I reported the story of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Metcalf, a star standout football player in Texas, was attending a track meet that involved several area high schools competing. When 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, a student from another school, came to sit in the area reserved for Metcalf’s school, Metcalf told him he was sitting in the wrong place. Anthony reached into a bag he was carrying and threatened Metcalf. Metcalf then pushed him to get him to leave. That was when Anthony pulled a knife out of the bag and fatally stabbed Metcalf. But now, as the story is being spun to portray Anthony as the victim, new information is coming out about one of his most ardent backers.

That supporter is Dominique Alexander. He is a self-proclaimed “minister” and activist. But for a supposed man of the cloth, he has a pretty sketchy and violent past that may throw a wrench into the “Anthony as the victim” narrative. The first incident involving Alexander took place in 2009 when he was arrested for causing serious bodily injury to a two-year-old child. He admitted to shaking the child but claimed the injuries were accidental. For that offense, he faced first-degree felony charges, but through a series of plea deals and probation, he did not serve any jail time.

Fuck Anthony, fuck Alexander, and fuck any and every other dad-blamed idjit who dares to claim “victim” status for this murdering nigger thug.

But when the race industry grifters smell an opportunity, you had better get out of the way. Almost immediately after the story came out, it took a sadly predictable turn. Supporters of Karmelo Anthony emerged, insisting that he was the true victim and there was even a wild story about how Austin Metcalf had bullied Anthony, who then acted in self-defense. 

Also maybe more than a bit predictable in a post-Black Lives Matter culture are not only the pictures of Karmelo Anthony in a suit and tie, putting a clean-cut face on the “victim” narrative, but also what the Anthony family did with the roughly $400,000 that has been raised on a GiveSendGo fundraiser page, presumably for “legal fees.” My colleague Bonchie reported that those fees were, in fact, not used for legal fees, but instead, the family has moved into a $900,000 home in a gated community. The next logical question has to be, does the good “Pastor” Alexander smell a big payday as the donations mount up?

Of COURSE he does. He’ll probably get himself a nice taste too, although maybe not as nice a one as he’d wish. Which reminds me of one I left out earlier: FUCK each and every dumbfuck, White or Black, who kicked in on this appalling, grotesque fundraiser.

So let’s review, shall we? 1) Worthless nigger shanks decent White kid with no real provocation, primarily due to the oft-seen, reliably deadly combination in Amerikan Neegrows of a) piss-poor impulse control, and b) innate tendencies to violence and/or mayhem; 2) Decent White Kid dies from injuries inflicted publicly, before numerous witnesses, for no good reason; 3) Mouthbreathing morons stampede to hit the Give Send Go fundie, leaving WN richer than his most avaricious dreams could’ve ever imagined; 3) Dr Right Reverend Minister Dom’i’niq’ue Sh’Kwanzelle Alexander smells what’s cooking, elbows his way in for a big ol’ slice of dat cash-money pie; 4) Kamelo “T-bone” Ant’ny and fam “move on up,” a la George and Weezy, to “a dee-luxe apaaahkmint” in a gated community, live happily ever after; 5) Austin Metcalf remains dead, and unavenged.

Ugh. Totally, totally sickening, that’s what. Then again, this is one sick, sick society we live in today; even a cursory look at the details of this story tells ya that much.

Another day, another violent-Left assassitard

It seems the Leftist mind-virus is spreading out of control.

Another Trump Assassination Plot Foiled, but There’s a Bizarre Twist to This One
The left has become so consumed by its hatred of Donald Trump that it no longer seems capable of distinguishing right from wrong.

What, you think they ever were?

As chilling as this is, on Friday, we found out just how real the problem is. A man has been charged with making threats to assassinate President Trump, other U.S. officials, and ICE agents.

And where did they find this latest unhinged character? Butler, Pa., of all places. That’s right, the same town where the first assassination attempt on Trump took place.

Shawn Monper, a 32-year-old Butler resident who went by the charming username “Mr Satan” online, spent months posting explicit threats and detailing his preparations for violence.

Obviously not content with just threatening the president, Monper also set his sights on law enforcement.

“ICE are terrorist people, we need to start killing them,” he posted in March, followed by threats to open fire on ICE agents.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised law enforcement’s swift action, stating, “I want to applaud the outstanding and courageous investigative work of the FBI and the Butler Township Police Department, who thankfully identified and apprehended this individual before he could carry out his threats against President Trump’s life and the lives of other innocent Americans.”

Monper is currently being held without bail as he awaits preliminary hearings on April 14. Considering the gravity of his threats and the clear signs of premeditation, the justice system needs to send a strong message here: Political violence has no place in this country.

Au contraire, mon frère. Assuming that ever was so (HINT: it wasn’t), it certainly ain’t now. The hateful, insane Left elbowed out a place for political violence here a goodish while back, and they’ve been expanding and reinforcing it ever since.

As for the ironic “coincidence” of this whacko being in Butler, the FBI has probably set up a secluded, top-secret training camp for Trump-killers somewhere in the area by now, complete with barracks; a long-distance shooting range; leisure/entertainment center; mess tent; a medical facility staffed by “corpsemen” experienced in treating combat injuries—basically, everything the aspiring assassin needs to hone his skills to a razor-sharp edge.

Hey, Nutflix, leave Aslan alone!

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.
