Any decent, self-respecting nation would have lynched this filthy, over-entitled oxygen thief long, long ago, just on general principle.
Blacks have to show photo ID to:
Buy themselves a quart of OE down at de sto’
Board a plane, train, or in some places a bus
Attend a rap show or NBA game
Rent a room down at the local hot-sheet flop
Among many, many other situations wherein a valid ID is required. So how is it, then, that shitlibs are flopping around on the damn floor like landed carp over the unthinkable(!) prospect of needing to show proper ID to vote? Gutfeld, bless him, ain’t having any.
Gutfeld Destroys the Democrats’ Voter ID Double Standard, and It’s Glorious
Greg Gutfeld did what Greg Gutfeld does best on his late-night show this week: he grabbed a Democrat talking point, shook it until the hypocrisy fell out, and then held it up for everyone to see. The target was Democrats’ favorite attack line against voter ID laws, and specifically the SAVE Act, which they have hysterically branded as “Jim Crow 2.0.”Gutfeld opened by zeroing in on the left’s most glaring contradiction. “You got to hand it to the Democrats,” he said. “On one hand, they think a child can handle the decision to lop off their genitals, but then on the other, they think black people can’t get a photo ID.”
To make his point, Gutfeld played a clip of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer having a meltdown over the legislation. “The SAVE Act is an abomination,” Schumer declared. “It’s Jim Crow 2.0 across the country.” Schumer went on to vow, “We are going to do everything we can to stop it.”
From there, Gutfeld dismantled the comparison itself. “To them, showing an ID to vote is no different than forcing people to drink from separate water fountains,” he said. The absurdity becomes obvious when placed next to everyday life. “Meanwhile, you need an ID to buy Sudafed, rent a U-Haul, and date Bill Belichick.”
The contradiction gets worse when Democrats lecture Americans about trusting elections. “The same people who tell you borders are fake, gender is a choice, and crime is a social construct,” Gutfeld said, “suddenly insist elections should be taken on faith.”
He closed by boiling the issue down to its core. “The SAVE Act isn’t about stopping people from voting,” Gutfeld said. “It’s about stopping people from cheating.”
Hey now, Greg, they resemble those remarks.
Things seem to be broken on the site. (Where “seems to be” is equivalent to the “alleged” in news reports of someone caught on camera cutting off someone’s head.)
UPDATE: Sounds like some dripping shit-stain hacked BCE’s account and did something to this site. Mike’s contacting tech support to see what can be done.
Update by Barry: Everything appears normal now, except clicking on comments results in page not found…
Update by SteveF: Er, that’s kind of the primary symptom of the site not being normal.
Welcome to this week’s installment of our Wednesday (Thursday this week, since I was a bit uder the weather yesterday and went to bed early) meme feature, folks. Links to the “found via” sources will be attached to the specific MiQ’s (Memes in Question) whenever I can remember them, which likely won’t be very often. Only the first two memes will appear above the fold to save on bandwidth usage, since I assume not everybody who shows up at this here websty will want to see all of them. This intro will appear at the top of each week’s Memezapoppin’! post. Enjoy, funny-pitcher lovers.
Bold mine.
Rest in peace to the victims. Gender ideology must be utterly decimated before it continues to destroy more innocent souls.
“Decimated,” you say? Why sure, if what you want is to decrease gender ideologies’ prevalence by a whopping one-tenth. See, “decimate” has a very specific meaning, and I do not think that it means what you think it means.
decimate
verb dec·i·mate ˈde-sə-ˌmāt decimated; decimating Synonyms of decimate transitive verb
1 history : to select by lot and kill every tenth member of
decimate a regiment
More.
In the military of ancient Rome, decimation (from Latin decimatio ‘destruction of a tenth’) was a form of military discipline in which every tenth man in a group was executed by members of his cohort. The discipline was used by senior commanders in the Roman army to punish units or large groups guilty of capital offences, such as cowardice, mutiny, desertion, and insubordination, and for pacification of rebellious legions.
The historicity of the punishment during the early and middle republic is questioned, and it may be an ahistorical rhetorical construct of the late republic. Regardless, the first well-attested instance was in 72 BC during the war against Spartacus under the command of Marcus Licinius Crassus. Further instances followed in the next century, mostly occurring during times of civil strife, before falling out of use after AD 69. There is evidence of the punishment’s revival in the post-classical world, such as during the Thirty Years’ War and World War I.
In modern English, the word is used most commonly not to mean a destruction of a tenth but rather annihilation.
Which common usage is totally fucked up, back-asswards, and wrong. Hence, the great annoyance on my part therefrom.
Update! Another longstanding pet peeve of mine.
How can anyone seriously still pretend we don’t have an Islamist extremism problem?
‘Far too many of the mosques in Britain are teaching Islamism. It’s being normalised and not being called out.
Um, sorry to have to tell ya and all, guys, but you Brit wankers have neither an “Islamist extremism” problem nor an “Islamism” problem. What you have, in fact, is an Islam problem. “Islamist” and “Islamic extremism” are merely rhetorical dodges deployed by pusillanimous Westerners to aid them in avoiding the actual issue.
Updated update! Yet another of my personal pet peeves, this particular one a hobby-horse I’ve been flogging the crap out of for a good, long while now.
See that garbage? “Female in a dress with” etc etc. FEMALE. Except, of course, that the TR shooter was no such thing—the violently insane perp was an 18 year old Pyrsynzz of Penis™ name of Jesse Strang. Which makes this kid, far from anything recognizable as “transgender,” a fucking TRANSVESTITE. Precisely as I’ve been insisting for many years now. Bootlessly, natch.
This is and ever shall be the case with all the Mrs Bruce “Barbara” Jenners of the world unless and until such time as they see fit to have the male courting tackle hacked off and tossed into a medical waste incinerator, like my former legs.
What it is, how it works.
Activist: “Every cow adds carbon to the atmosphere.”

Farmer: “Stable populations are carbon neutral. Methane breaks down in twelve years back to CO2. Same CO2 the grass absorbed last year.”
Activist: “But it’s still emissions…”
Farmer: “It’s a cycle. Carbon goes: grass to cow to methane to CO2 to grass. Round and round.”

Farmer: “That’s exactly how the biogenic carbon cycle works.”

Farmer: “Because admitting ruminants are climate neutral doesn’t sell plant-based products.”
Activist: “You’re making this up.”
Farmer: “Published research. Look up ‘biogenic carbon cycle.’ I’ll wait.”
Ahh, but see, that’s ACTUAL science. Shitlibs demonstrably don’t give a tinker’s damn about that stuff.
Via BRM, who continues:
That’s a beautifully simple explanation – and every word of it is true. You’ll never hear vegetarian and vegan activists admit to that, though. If they did, they’d expose their scam operation for what it is. They rely on scaring people into taking them seriously – and this tweet demonstrates that they’re anything but serious. Their loud screams about the permanent climate damage caused by eating meat and breeding cows are nothing more than “sound and fury, signifying nothing”.
Pass it on. The more people who understand this, the better.
Indeed. They can lie all the like, and they will. So why should sensible people make it easy for the stupid bastards?
Hey, remember when Trump was basically razing the White House to the ground so he could put up some kind of Trump Ego Museum or some such shite?
Yeah, about all that.
A Ballroom Built the Trump Way
God gave President Donald Trump the drive to move forward on passion projects; he doesn’t wait for permission slips to prove his competence: He builds.His latest update on White House ballroom project follows a familiar pattern he’s perfected over the years: on budget, ahead of schedule, and paid for without touching taxpayer dollars.
Trump has stated that the Great Ballroom will serve future presidential inaugurations, turning a long-discussed idea into physical reality, funded largely from his own pocket and additional private donations.
The ballroom project spans roughly 90,000 square feet and includes a new East Wing designed to match the White House’s historic scale. Plans include a 22,000-square-foot banquet hall, office space for the first lady, and additional functional areas for state events.
There are echoes from Trump’s past that revive similar skepticism. Long ago, in a completely different New York City than today’s, the city spent years failing to renovate Wollman Rink in Central Park. Trump watched ballooning costs, stepped in, promised completion in months, and delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.
The rink reopened in 1986 and became profitable.
It’s a great example of the government stalling and private execution finishing the job. That pattern remains intact decades later.
Not to nearly as broad an extent as it ought to, but in Amerika v2.0 you takes whatever small favors you gets.
After many years as one of Our Side’s most astute, judicious, clear-eyed analysts, Brandon Smith gets right down to the nut-cuttin’.
Civil War 2.0 has, in fact, already kicked off in the form of a well funded far-left insurrection much like what happened in 1917 Russia. The lack of conservative organization in response has been less than impressive, and I’m here to give a warning: We are approaching the point of no return.
Activists are funded by a massive shell game of NGOs hidden behind other NGOs. They are coordinated by hidden online discord servers. They receive their orders and share information in the field through encrypted Signal chats. They are trained in agitation and disruption by anonymous online meet-ups run by covert activist coordinators. They have engaged in violent attacks on ICE agents on hundreds if not thousands of occasions and few of them are ever prosecuted. This is not the behavior of a grassroots protest movement, this is the behavior of an army of covert operatives with special protections.
It’s important to understand that the “protests” are actually a highly coordinated guerrilla campaign – These are not sincere citizens exercising their civil rights. For now their stated motivation is to stop deportations of illegal migrants, but this is just an excuse for their insurgency. If ICE stopped operations tomorrow, the paid activists would simply fabricate another rationale for tearing the country apart. Placating them will accomplish nothing.
They are hostile combatants trying to assert dominance and grow their numbers through posturing. Their goal is the destruction of the western world. This cannot be allowed.
The clear solution would be for the government to shut down hostile NGOs, however, these institutions are protected by corporate personhood and have the same constitutional rights as individual citizens. The process of investigating them and prosecuting them takes time – time we don’t have.
Even if Trump utilized the Insurrection Act and deployed the military, there are not enough troops to lock down more than a handful of US cities. Those people hoping that martial law will resolve the issue are kidding themselves. By extension, leftists stand to gain greater support: Martial law would represent proof to the rest of the world that the administration is indeed “fascist.”
The course of the war will not depend on government intervention, so don’t hold your breath waiting for effective enforcement. The reality is, most activist arrests end with them right back out on the street anyway. Their support apparatus has to be permanently removed, or THEY have to be permanently removed from the equation.
Everything will be decided by regular conservatives. If they organize in large numbers, if they create a funding apparatus to move people and supplies around the country quickly, and if they form proper leadership and training guidelines, then there might be a chance for peace simply by presenting a formidable deterrent. If not, at least the means to put down the insurgency will be available.
If conservatives stay at home and refuse to protect any piece of territory beyond their front gate, they will lose everything. It’s inevitable. The side that wants to win will always have an edge over the side that “just wants to be left alone.”
If there’s one and only one thing we know for sure and certain about the Goosesteppin’ Left at this point, it’s that they are constitutionally incapable of leaving ANYBODY alone.
Not the genital cuffs AGAIN!
Cynical Publius
@CynicalPubliusRE: Vance Getting Booed at the Winter Olympics
So a bunch of Eurotards from Europe’s fashion capital booed our Vice President and Second Lady at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony.
Democrats, of course, are thrilled by this because they too hate America. I, of course, could not care less.
But let me tell you what is really going on.
The USA is Europe’s Daddy, and has been for 80 years. Europe is the stumblebum adult male child in his 30s living on Daddy’s couch. He can’t hold a job, all of his relationships are disasters and he depends on Daddy for all sustenance and protection.
One day Daddy gets fed up with Sonny’s unwillingness to pay his own way. Daddy is also pissed because Sonny does not support free speech or free markets, and because Sonny fails to protect himself from Muslims who beat him up in the street daily. Daddy finally says:
“ENOUGH! You are on your own. Get out of my house. No, I will NOT lend you more money.”
So Sonny has to finally stand on his own two feet and he resents it. So the next time Sonny sees Daddy, he boos him.
That’s what happened in Milan.
It’s always about envy, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy with these delinquent brats.
Nice to see things working out as intended…even if they won’t admit it.
Vermont EV buses prove unreliable for transportation this winter
(The Center Square) – Electric buses are proving unreliable this winter for Vermont’s Green Mountain Transit, as it needs to be over 41 degrees for the buses to charge, but due to a battery recall the buses are a fire hazard and can’t be charged in a garage.Spokesman for energy workers advocacy group Power the Future Larry Behrens told the Center Square: “Taxpayers were sold an $8 million ‘solution’ that can’t operate in cold weather when the home for these buses is in New England.”
“We’re beyond the point where this looks like incompetence and starts to smell like fraud,” Behrens said.
Now, now, I’m not entirely sure I’d be willing to go as far as all that. Not when stupidity, wishful thinking, and daylight barking madness will more than meet the case.

Owing to a tremendous recent influx of annoying spam user registration attempts—some of them successful, alas, as shown by that stupid ad for an ED drug called Trama-somethingorother that I just deleted, posted by a nonexistent user yclept “Big Country,” NOT Big Country Expat,” who/which is legit—I’ve shut down all user registrations for the nonce. Hopefully, that will at least stanch the flood, if not stop it altogether. We’ll see, I guess.
Just digging on some good old Ramones on YewToob when what to my wondering my eyes should appear but the vid for “Pet Cemetery,” which includes…oh hell, see for yourselves.
See that T-shirt Joey has on? That’s the logo, name, and address of the dear old Pterodactyl Club on Freedom Drive in CLT, an excellent small-to-mid-sized venue the BPs played many times back in the Aulden Thymes. How Joey came up with the shirt or why he decided to wear it in the vid I have no clue, but there you have it.
Update! More on the Pterodactyl from the obit of one of its co-owners, Jeff Lowery.
Charlotte lost a leading member of its musical community this week when Jeff Lowery died.
Lowery, 55, who operated Jeff’s Bucket Shop on Montford Road, was essential to Charlotte’s musical growth during the late 1980s and early `90s. He co-owned and operated the Pterodactyl Club and 13-13, The Milestone Club for a time and Milestone Records on Central Avenue.In recent years he published the Amps 11 local and regional music ’zine.
During their run at The Milestone between 1986 and 1989 he and business partner Tim Blong brought bands like Bad Brains, Southern Culture on the Skids, Flaming Lips, Alex Chilton, and Melissa Etheridge to town and Charlotteans still talk about the shows they booked at the Pterodactyl and 13-13.
“Jeff really was a visionary and ahead of his time, particularly with the 13-13, which hosted a slew of top-notch alternative rock bands well before the genre exploded and those bands graduated to the arenas and amphitheaters,” says writer Kathleen Johnson, who covered the scene for The Observer in the 1990s.
Blong’s records show Jane’s Addiction and Iggy Pop, the Ramones, Alice in Chains, Danzig, Sonic Youth, the Replacements, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, and Widespread Panic – punk legends, alternative rock bands who were peaking early on, and others that would go on to headline arenas.
“Jeff also booked local and regional bands as openers for big shows and gave them their own gigs, which also really helped nurture the city’s original music scene. Those two clubs had a big cultural impact on the town,” adds Johnson.
Did I say “excellent venue” a few minutes ago? Make that effing legendary, please.
Another great one gone.
Hall of Fame quarterback Sonny Jurgensen dies at 91
Sonny Jurgensen, the Hall of Fame quarterback whose strong arm led to passing records for the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders and affable personality made him a beloved figure, has died at the age of 91.Jurgensen’s family announced his death in a statement released by the Commanders on Friday, saying he died of natural causes in Naples, Florida, after a brief stay in hospice care.
*Le sigh* OH, how I tire of this 190-proof horseshit. Sonny Jurgensen did not set so much as one (1) passing record for any Washington “Commanders,” nor did he lead them to any NFL championships. In fact, Sonny Jurgensen never took a single snap for the aforementioned “Commanders,” seeing as how he played his entire career quarterbacking for A) the Philadelphia Eagles, and B) the Washington fucking REDSKINS, you tres dainty “journ-o-list” suckers of all possible cock.
